Secret gardens opened to public this weekend

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — They are some of the prettiest gardens not often seen by the public. But this weekend the Historical Society of the Lower Cape Fear is giving you access to them with the 7th Annual Secret Garden Tour.

The event will feature more than a dozen homes. Organizers say the tour gives an exclusive look at some well known and some not so well know gardens in the area.

“It’s a really fun way to see the private homes that ordinarily you wouldn’t be invited into, and to see some the absolute gems that are behind these historic homes,” the Historical Society’s Candace McGreevy said.

The tour started today, but don’t worry. It continues tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The tour starts at the Latimer House on South 3rd Street in Downtown Wilmington.
