The Sussex Gardeners presented a fourth annual garden tour featuring six gardens in Rehoboth Beach May 20. Local artists created watercolor portraits in the gardens. A raffle, plant sale, and lunch were offered at the Lutheran Church of Our Savior Fellowship Hall. From raised beds to pottage gardens, the tour offered numerous ideas for visitors to try in their garden. For information go to sussexgardenersgardenclub.org.
