Tickets Continued on page 87 i i • Dennis Forney photos The gardens surrounding the home of Dodie and Tom Crowley in Shipcarpenter Square have been a work in progress since 1993. The garden of Mike and Mary Rawl is filled with birdhous- es that Mary collects and other items that the pair gather for their Auntie M's Emporium. The house and surrounding gar- den are an eclectic blending of plantings and magical pieces. The curvilinear brick walkway leading to the handmade gateway to Mari- lyn Nugent's back garden provides a senseof the artis- tic that infuses this Lewes Garden Tour stop. Marilyn Nugent's unique artwork is on display for patrons of the 10th Lewes Garden Tour. Her outdoor art provides a glimpse into the excitement of the garden behind the home. The gardens of the Royal Retreat Bed and Breakfast have been renovated and imporved in the past year and are part of the 10th annual Lewes Garden Tour. Banks of polyantha "fairy" roses border the gardens of this home on Mulberry Street in Lewes. Garden Tour patrons will have access to the back garden of this property which in- cludes a number of dramatic outdoor rooms defined with unique plantings of trees. Dozens of wildly-colored fish including koi, shubunkin, comet, oranda, black bugeye and common goldfish fill the extensive garden pond behind Charles Sensenig's Bay Breeze home. The pond, with a number of waterfalls, was designed and constructed by Sensenig, Joe Bak- er and Rick McReynolds and is accented with a wide variety of water plants and border plants that fill niches on its edges.
