The self-guided tour will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine, offering tourgoers inspiration for the end of summer and autumn season. Proceeds from the tour will benefit the ongoing restoration of the Marietta Community House, 264 W. Market St., Marietta. Tour chairperson and Marietta Community House board member Lauralee Baker described it as a classic walking garden tour with everything from tiny to larger gardens and both sunny and shaded spaces. At the property of Audrey and Jeremy Pombo, guests will find themselves in a shaded refuge of relaxation dotted with mature evergreens and trees. “We like to say it’s a little oasis back here, because you don’t really expect it,” Audrey said.
