Now in its 20th year, the East Row Garden Walk will be held the first weekend in June — June 4 and 5 — in Newport’s East Row Historic District. The walk will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.

For 20 years, curiosity, a passion for gardening, and a desire for unique ideas have enticed thousands of visitors to tour the charming gardens on the walk, which features nine private gardens including some never before opened to the public.

This year, a portion of the proceeds will go to the TreeRevitalize Program which is spear heading the planting of new tress in all areas of the city. This program has lead to the planting of over 200 new tress in Newport in the last two years. Another planting is scheduled for October of this year.

Tickets to the event are $15 per person. Children under 12 free when accompanied by an adult. Advanced tickets are available online at www.eastrowgardenclub.org. Tickets will also be sold both days at the exhibitor area at the Watertower Square parking lot, located at Sixth and Washington Streets. Tickets will be sold until 3 p.m. each day and the tour will continue until 4 p.m. Please note that only cash and checks will be accepted on the days of the tour.
