Event Date: Saturday, July 23, 2011
The 2011 Garden Tour is on Saturday, July 23rd (10am-4pm).
Nine beautiful St. Vital gardens did "Our Natural Garden Tour" proud this past summer. Now everyone can look forward to a new group of gardens, equally beautiful, on our next tour on Saturday July 23, 2011.
Our new tour will take place in Fort Richmond and Fort Garry, with a swing a bit further west to McCreary Road. A number of smaller yards will be featured, all very different from each other, all very creatively put together. The largest property is huge, comprising three acres on McCreary, and quite spectacular. Ponds and water features are effectively utilized and container plantings add decorative touches. Our community property for 2011 is the Carol Shields Memorial Labyrinth in King's Park, Fort Richmond – a project that began with community involvement in 2003. It is a unique and inviting garden.
Come out to support Nature Manitoba and have a great time doing it!
