(St. Paul, Minn) The Summit Avenue Garden Stroll is back and better than ever. Sunday, June 26th from 1-5 p.m., ticketholders are invited to enjoy one of our country’s most magnificent stretches of urban green spaces as well as walk into the back yards of select Summit Avenue mansions to see their magnificent gardens.
Ten homeowners along Saint Paul’s historical Summit Avenue will open their gardens for the public to enjoy. Tickets costs $10 for the Summit Avenue Garden Stroll, plus an additional $10 for the informal Garden Stroll Tea open throughout the afternoon, from 1-5 p.m. on the rose garden terrace of Mount Zion Temple, 1300 Summit Avenue. A master gardener will be at the tea to answer questions.
Tickets may be purchased at the following places of business:
Johnson & Sons Florist, 1738 Grand Ave.

Frattallone’s Ace Hardware Stores at two locations: 650 & 1676 Grand Av.
SARPA will donate ten percent of its proceeds from this event to Second Harvest Food Bank.
The Summit Avenue Garden Stroll & Tea will be held rain or shine. More details will be available at www.sarpa.org. The Summit Avenue Residential Preservation Association sponsors the Stroll and Tea and is proud to announce that Summit Avenue has been recognized in 2008 as the “Nation’s Best Intact Street from Victorian Era,” by the American Planning Association.
We still need gardens, and volunteers! Let us know if you are willing to help!
