Eight gardens in the borough of Marietta - including five within one block - will be featured on the seventh annual Marietta Garden Tour on Sunday, Sept. 9. 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. The backyard garden features several tiers that the Pombos appreciate particularly when entertaining. Wisteria stretches from the property edge to the side
The Marietta Garden Tour on Sept. 9 will offer tourgoers a selfguided stroll through eight properties in the borough and gardening seminars presented by area experts at the Marietta Community House. Homemade pork barbecue meals will also be available to purchase at the Community House.
