Gardens Are a Work of Art

Cleveland County Arts Council’s 2026 Garden and Outdoor Living Tour

Like a painter, a gardener experiments with colors. Should a plant with bright orange blossoms go behind a dark purple bush? Like a sculptor, a gardener will look for plants with interesting shapes. Like a photographer, a gardener considers the changing light during the day.

Join us on Saturday, June 6, 9 am – 4 pm, as our self-guided tour of six lovely outdoor living spaces returns and see the outside “artistry” that has been created.

Tickets ($25) may be purchased online or in person at the Arts Council, located at Cleveland County Arts Council, 111 S. Washington St., Shelby, Mon. – Fri. 9am – 4pm, Saturday 10am – 2pm.

Your online receipt will serve as your ticket and proof of purchase. You may either print your receipt or show it digitally at each location. We will also have a list of all online ticket purchases available at each tour venue.

You can also purchase tickets at the individual homes the day of the event (cash/check only).

Also that day, Paradise Garden Center, a sponsor of the event, invites you to stop in to see their selection of indoor, outdoor, annual and perennial plants, many grown on site. While there, enjoy a slice of wood fired pizza in their outdoor kitchen from 11am – 2pm. Paradise Garden Center is open 9am – 3pm. All proceeds support the Cleveland County Arts Council.
