Secret Garden to welcome visitors and Scavenger Hunt on tap (Credit: Tim Purtell)
Memorial Day Weekends traditionally include many kinds of observances, some fun, some formal, but as this season opens on a quieter note than in the past, spend a peaceful half-hour exploring a hidden gem on the Island.
The Shelter Island Historical Society is giving a 30-minute Secret Garden Tour on Saturday, May 29 from 2 to 6 p.m. (The rain date is Sunday, May 30).
Walk through a one-acre garden near Coecles Harbor that boasts more than 5,000 plants, some ornamental, others native.
The tour is $30 per person. You can purchase tickets at shelterislandhistorical.org/thesecretgardentour2021.html
