The American Association of University Women invites you to tour six beautiful country gardens in and around Medford on Saturday, September 13 from 10:00am-4:00pm. Attendees will enjoy refreshments and view raffle prizes at the hospitality garden at 4076 Dark Hollow Road, owned by master gardeners Michele and Richard Kaplowitz. There are three other gardens on the tour that have also been developed by Jackson County master gardeners.

Tickets are $15 and include a free raffle ticket and may be purchased at any of the gardens on tour day, or in advance at Grange Co-Op retail stores. A list of the gardens on tour will be posted at medford-or.aauw.net on September 1. Tour proceeds will be used for college scholarships and other programs that further educational opportunities for local women and girls.

The tour includes six gardens on the self-guided tour—some located within the Medford city limits and others on rural acreage. Take this leisurely tour and see what your neighbors have accomplished in their gardens and be inspired to try something new in your own garden!

AAUW has been promoting equity for women and girls for more than 137 years through research, advocacy and philanthropy. The Medford branch gave in excess of $10,000 for local scholarships last year.
