Provo, UtahJoin in the discovery of some of Utah Valley's most beautiful private gardens as the Celebration of Heath Foundation presents the 2007 Hidden Garden Benefit Tour. This year's tour, taking place Friday and Saturday, June 1 and 2, will feature 13 spectacular gardens in Orem, Lindon, Pleasant Grove, Highland and Alpine. In addition to the self-guided tour of the gardens, ticket holders will enjoy exclusive gardening workshops at Thanksgiving Point, live musical performances at selected gardens, and a "mystery plant" contest and prize drawings. Contest prizes will include garden shop gift certificates, hand-made quilts, a hand-turned heritage wood salad bowl and the grand prize, a "Puffed Up Prince" bronze sculpture by Gary Lee Price. Tickets for the tour can be purchased in advance for $13 through the Celebration of Health Foundation and most local greenhouses and garden shops. During the tour, tickets will be available at the gardens for $16. All proceeds of the tour will benefit Women's and Children's services at American Fork Hospital. "We are excited to offer the rare opportunity to personally get an inside look at these beautiful gardens," said Dennis Morganson, Hidden Garden Benefit Tour coordinator. "The garden owners are passionate about their gardens and pull out all the stops to make them ready for all who attend. Best of all, as participants enjoy these spectacular gardens, they will be providing vital support for Women's and Children's services in our community."
