For the 20th year, the Milton Garden Tour showed off the backyard creations of Milton residents.

Six homes were part of the tour this year, with each stop containing booths featuring local artists and musicians.

One of those homes belongs to Lyn Moser, a resident of Briarwood whose garden includes 18 raised beds of herbs, fruits and vegetables, as well as perennials and arched entryways. 

Members of the Milton Garden Club work the booth at the Lydia Cannon Museum, where the tour started. Shown are (l-r) Doreen Becke, Kathryn Grieg and Elaine Carbone.
The first stops on the tour were the adjoining houses of Ellen and Rand Lytton and Richard and Lee Wheeler on Valley Road. The two couples created a combined garden with native plants and pollinators to attract birds, butterflies and insects.
