The ten-day [summer garden celebration]( begins July 8th with a burst of blooms, workshops and fun befitting the Cape’s signature flower -whether you simply want to take in the splendor, create a spectacular centerpiece, or learn how to (finally!) change those deep blues to rosy pink. Photo by Greta Georgieva Here is a mini guide to the festival highlights, happening July 8-17 across Cape Cod. Garden Tours This ten-day festival's main attractions are the daily tours of private gardens, each designed and maintained by the individual homeowners and carrying a unique charm. You are sure to enjoy such eclectic spaces, not to mention the good feeling of supporting a variety of local nonprofits, which will benefit from the proceeds of each tour. This year’s festival features 70 private gardens, from Falmouth to Provincetown. Garden tours are $5 per person per garden (cash at the door), and each garden is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., only on the days specified.
