Six unique private gardens in Johnson County will be opened to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 12 and 13 during the Johnson County K-State Extension Master Gardener biennial public garden tour.

Each garden, featuring individual qualities, is owned and maintained by an Extension Master Gardener. Visitors will be able to access information digitally about the garden’s development along with educational tips. Photography is encouraged.

Tickets for the rain-or-shine event are $25 each before May 10, $35 after May 10 and $40 on the days of the tour. Tickets are available through Extension Office at the Johnson County Sunset Drive Building, 11811 South Sunset Drive, Olathe, or purchased online at johnson.k-state.edu. Maps of the gardens on the tour and directions are provided with each ticket.

The tour also includes an Extension Expo and Garden Thyme Marketplace at the outside pavilion at the Sunset Drive Building. No tickets are required for the expo and marketplace.

The marketplace features handmade, garden-themed gifts and unique items. The expo offers information on Extension gardening resources. Both will be located near the free Dennis Patton Garden Gallery Demonstration Garden, which is open to the public year-round.
