It’s Garden Tour Time again!
Mark July 5th on your 2014 calendar and join us for another day of flora, fauna and fun.
This year, the tour will be in two parts of the city tied together by Portage Avenue. From a cluster of four gardens in the Silver Heights/Birchwood area of St. James, east of the Moray Bridge, a short drive down Portage Avenue will take you to five more gardens in the areas of south Broadway, East Gate, Crescentwood and River Heights.
There are four lovely large gardens, some on the river. Four smaller yards illustrate a variety of styles, including a low maintenance garden, an English country cottage garden, an all-garden/no-grass yard and a garden showcasing an intriguing set of structures for growing vegetables.
Our community garden this year is Enderton Park, affectionately known as Peanut Park, in the Crescentwood area. This elegant and peaceful park will provide the perfect lunch stop for tour goers. See article below for more on Peanut Park.
