The annual Members' Garden Tour is the highlight of our summer. The tour is organized by the Vice-President, and planning begins months in advance. The tour typically includes four - five private gardens, with a reception following at the last garden on the tour. Many of the garden owners are HPS/MAG members. Some of the locations we have visited include West Chester, Berks County, Bucks County, Wilmington, Delaware, Media, and many sections of Philadelphia.
