The Talbot County co-chairs are Laura Carney and Karen Parker. They are heading up a committee of more than 15 women working on everything from parking to tickets and food but many more volunteers will be participating to make the event one to remember.
Tickets will be $35 in advance and $40 at the door. However, for a limited time, the Talbot County Garden Club is offering ‘Tour Bells’ for $30. ‘Tour Bells’ are gift certificates good for one tour in any of the counties on tour in the next year. They make a great holiday gift so make sure to put them on your list! They may be purchased by emailing: [email protected]. After the first of the year, ticket prices will be made available online for $35 at the Maryland House & Garden Pilgrimage web site at https://www.mhgp.org/tickets.
