Project GREEN is once again planning an “open gardens” event this year. Anyone who enjoys their garden and wants to share it with the community can participate.

Admission will be free for visitors, encouraging many more to experience private gardens throughout Iowa City and Coralville, whether a tiny plant-filled patio or an intricately landscaped yard.

Project GREEN's Open Gardens Weekend is scheduled for July 10-11. Saturday hours are 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday hours will be 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

To sign up (and for more information on Open Gardens Weekend), go to www.projectgreen.org. To request a mailed application, call (319) 430-6649. The registration deadline is June 20.

Once registered, you can pick up a free yard sign to place in front of the garden for the event and chat with visitors.
