Sneak peak at this year’s Gardens on tour

The Paris Horticultural Society provided our readers with a sneak peak of what to expect at this weekend’s Garden Tour. The private gardens can be toured with the purchase of a ticket (see details on front page). In addition to gardens, there will be live entertainment and local artists performing.

How are funds used around town?

Money raised from Horticultural Society fundraisers, like the annual plant sale in May and the Garden Tour in June, are used for various projects around town, such as the beautiful planters downtown Paris, maintenance at local parks and greenspaces, the cenotaph, to name a few. Pictured above, PHS members worked with the County’s Parks and Forestry Department to plant two pin oak trees in the Paris Cemetery near the chapel. These trees are to commemorate the passing of Queen Elizabeth and the Coronation of King Charles Photos submitted by Paris Horticultural Society
