Visit gardens at Otter Rock, help Samaritan House Homeless Family Shelter The 13 th annual Secret Garden Tour sponsored by the Samaritan House Home- less Family Shelter in Newport, Ore., is set for June 26 from 12-5 p.m. Tickets are only $25 and include visits to the gardens, light snacks and wine as well as musical entertainment. Participants are encouraged to bring their own water. Shuttles will be provided to access some of the gardens. This year the gardens are in the unique coastal community of Otter Rock, just north of Newport. The gardens have many special features, including ocean views, natural grasses, garden art, rock walls and a piece of a McCullough bridge. The garden tour provides an oppor- tunity to see lovely gardens that normally are enjoyed only by the owners and their families and friends. It is a wonderful way to see the many flowers, grasses and plants that can be grown at the coast, as well as how to use the natural beauty of the area to enhance your own garden and yard. The money raised from this event benefits the Samaritan House Homeless Family Shelter, the only family shelter on the Oregon coast between Coos Bay and Tillamook. Its mission is to shelter, educate and guide homeless families with children toward independent living. Tickets are available at JC Thriftway Market in Newport, Toledo Feed and Seed, Bear Valley Nursery and Landscaping in Lincoln City, and at the Samaritan House office – 715 NW Bay St. in Newport.
