For the first time, on Saturday, July 9th, the Oxford Garden Club (OGC) is offering a tour of some of the village’s best kept secrets. Six private gardens, belonging to Club members, will be marked on a map as part of a tour titled “A Stroll Thru Our Gardens”. Tickets can be purchased in advance, or the day of in LaFayette Park, on the square in downtown Oxford Village. At the Park’s bandstand, you will receive a program/map, available as early as 9:30 AM (rain or shine) to begin your self guided tour between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM.
