Lovers of nature, art and architecture will all find something to enjoy during the Phelps Grove Neighborhood Art in the Garden Tour on Sunday, June 9, from 1 to 4 p.m.
The Phelps neighborhood is defined by tree-shaded streets lined with Craftsman style, bungalow and four-square homes whose residents tend to beautiful gardens, both street-side and behind their homes.
During Art in the Garden, local artists display and sell their work in numerous front or back yards or even on front porches, and visitors are invited to tour the gardens and enjoy the flowers, art, and live music, which will be performed in some of the gardens.
Tickets of $10 each can be purchased at the corner of Kings and Bennett, and free parking will be available at the Springfield Art Museum. Maps of the garden locations and descriptions of the art being displayed will be given to those who buy tickets.
