Gardens, gardens, we need gardens...

We are beginning to put together our 2nd annual Art in the Garden Tour in Exeter, scheduled for Saturday June 26, and are looking for people in Exeter who would be willing to open up their gardens for us. During this tour, an area artist who does out-door artwork (sculptors, wood workers, potters) will display their work in your garden. Visitors will follow a tour we lay out, from garden to garden, to see the landscaping and artwork. Last year's tour was great fun and a huge success. This is a fundraiser for ECCA to help support our art education program, and provide class scholarships to area children. If you have a garden you are willing to share to support this great cause, please let us know and we'll provide you with all the details. You can reach ECCA by phone at 778-8441 or email at ecca@rcn.com
