Check Out The Highland Experience This Weekend!

April showers will bring May flowers and the return of the unique Highland Experience! Seven area homeowners will fling open the gates to their quaint, and not-so-quaint gardens. Come spend a Spring afternoon among Highland's majestic trees and lush landscape, while Highland-area musicians serenade you. Then, take home a bit of the garden. Free pass-a-long plants will be provided while supplies last.

But, this event is more than cool gardens, it is a showcase of all the best parts of Highland-historic architecture, art, food, music, and fun. Area restaurants will be on site to serve you free samples of their food. Meanwhile artist's sell their unique art work...TAX FREE!

This year's Highland Experience is Scheduled for May 19, 2012. Join us from 11AM - 3PM.
