  HALLOWELL, ME, May 19 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Granite Hill Estates (GHE), the Kennebec Valley's premiere continuing
care retirement community, will conduct its First Annual Garden Tour on
Saturday, June 27, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., on the grounds of the GHE
campus. Granite Hill Estates is located at 60 Balsam Drive in Hallowell,
Maine.

    "So many of our residents plant beautiful gardens that... well... we
wanted to show off a little this year," Jennifer Fleck, GHE's Executive
Director, said with a smile. "Some of our residents have gardens
throughout their yards. Others have planter boxes up to six feet long.
And they grow a wide variety of plants and flowers, each reflecting their
own tastes, preferences, and gardening skills. Above all, the gardens
reflect the pride we all take in this beautiful community."

    The Garden Tour is free and open to the public. A barbecue luncheon will
be served from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. There will be a drawing for door
prizes during the afternoon. And attendees will be able to vote for the
best garden and the best planter box. The winners will be the reigning
champions until next year's Tour.

    To get to Granite Hill Estates, take exit 109 from the south or 109B from
the north off I-95 (Winthrop). Head west on Route 202. Take a left onto
Edison Drive. GHE is on the right.
