Upcoming Events


Second Sundays

Pennsylvania First Lady Susan Corbett invites the public to visit the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg for a new series of summer garden tours called “Second Sundays.” Each second Sunday from June through September, visitors are invited to explore the Governor’s Residence gardens from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Each event will highlight a specific theme and feature outdoor, family-friendly activities. Through a partnership with the Penn State Extension Master Gardeners of Dauphin County, volunteer master gardeners will offer expertise on horticultural topics and answer visitors’ questions.
