This year’s Garden-A-Day event, celebrating National Gardening week, is June 4 to June 8, and features two gardens each day on The Point, Habersham, Cottage Farm, Pigeon Point and Lady’s Island. The Beaufort Garden Club invites the public to visit all ten gardens, free of charge, from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm, rain or shine.
