SARATOGA SPRINGS — Tickets are on sale now for the 26th annual Soroptimist Secret Gardens Tour set for Sunday, July 11. The tour features a dozen unique gardens in Saratoga Springs (including three on one street), Ballston Spa, and Schuylerville. 

Visitors will find a wide variety of designs and plantings for both shade and sun. Some include water features, and others offer landscapes that incorporate one-of-a-kind mosaics and sculptures in both stone and metal. You’ll stroll through pergolas, follow a path to a monarch butterfly waystation, wander along a pond, meander past fruit trees and brush past grasses. 

Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 on the day of the tour, if still available. This is a self-guided tour, which will take place July 11 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., rain or shine. Garden descriptions, a map and suggested driving directions are provided with the ticket, but you go at your own pace in the order you like.
