Secret Garden Tour Was a Blooming Good Time!

The Secret Garden Tour was a spectacular success. More than 12 'secret' gardens were revealed to ticket holders on Sunday, July 11. With maps in hand, nearly 200 made their way to visit some of the most lush and vibrant gardens in Hull. The weather was spectacular and the gardens were in full bloom! Thanks go out to event co-chairs (and owners of two of the gardens) Robin Coyne-Hull and Kate Smith. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Friends of the Paragon Carousel and the Hull Land Trust.

Paragon Carousel Board Member Kevin Hull was stationed in front of the Paragon Carousel on Sunday, July 11, providing maps of the 'secret' gardens to ticket holders. With Kevin are Marie Hoy, Susan Myerson and Sandy Abrams.
