On June 28 five Holmes County gardeners will invite attendees to tour their grounds for the Friends of Holmes County OneEighty 2025 Garden Tour.
The 12th biannual garden tour will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a rain date of Sunday, June 29 from 1-5 p.m. Tickets are $25 per person with children age 12 and under free.

Clay St.; Rodhe’s IGA in Millersburg; Commercial Savings Bank in Walnut Creek; and Killbuck Savings Bank in Killbuck.
The tour showcases a variety of plants, trees, fruits and vegetables, as well as ideas and tips for participants who garden. One garden has 80 varieties of hostas, 90 varieties of day lilies and a tree nursery. Another has both a bee and a sunflower garden.
Day-of tickets also are available at each of the gardens. The tour is self-guided, so participants may start and end anywhere and proceed through the tour at their own pace.
