The Milton Garden Club Home and Garden Tour hosted 350 to 400 guests July 12. Comfortable temperatures and clear skies were a benefit to the walking tour of Union Street's 10 homes and gardens. Many local artists participated in a plein air style of painting and music was offered by a recorder concert by Tradewinds.
