View the seven magical gardens that were a part of this year’s virtual Garden Tour organized by the U.P. Historical Society. These virtual tours offer stunning ground and aerial views of each garden, as well as interviews with their owners and Pierce County Master Gardener Alice Dionne. From highly sculpted to informal by design, these gardens feature a variety of flora, water features, terracing and even a fairy or two.

-
U.P. Historical Society’s Curran Apple Orchard

Dick and Patti Hutchison’s Terraced Gardens
-
Carole Henderson’s Japanese Garden
