You can still participate in the nation’s longest-running garden party on Tuesday in Door County. The Door County Medical Center Auxiliary will hold its 60th annual House and Garden Walk to raise money to support the hospital’s skilled nursing center and hospice care. This year’s tour highlights five different homes and gardens including the Dome Home, Binkhaven, and Windridge. Co-chairperson Wendy Walker credits the owners of the homes and gardens for allowing the community to visit even with the pandemic still lingering.
If you buy on Monday you can still get tickets for $35 at Bliss, Destination Door County, Nicolet National Bank Sturgeon Bay, Door County Coffee and Tea Company, Main Street Market, and Jerry's Flowers. Otherwise, it will be $45 to reserve your spot when you buy tickets at the individual sites.
