Historic Edenton, North Carolina’s finest private and public gardens, talented plein air artists, an “Art in Bloom” exhibit, a “Boogie on Broad” outdoor concert, and a grand Garden Party Finale – what a perfect way to spend a weekend! The 2-day event is April 26th & 27th, 2024, with gardens open 10am - 4pm each day.
New to the tour this year is Edenton’s newest historic site, Hayes Farm, which overlooks the Albemarle Sound. Built in 1817, the large, pillared home is surrounded by towering camellia and boxwood gardens, a large perennial flower bed and a heart shaped front bed, lined with heirloom roses.
Easels in the Garden is a biennial event, sponsored by the Cupola House Association, Inc. Funds raised at Easels in the Gardens are used to help maintain the 1758 Cupola House and its gardens for enjoyment by the entire community.
Tickets are valid for both days and are non-refundable and non-transferable.
