The annual July garden tour is always a popular event. It is always a joy to see the gardens that
have been created by our members. In a
way, these tours should be called “secret garden tours” because these gardens
are frequently hidden from public view, and each tour is opened only to club
members.
This year’s Gardens: Creamery Bridge Gardens & the Church’s Gardens. Sandy Stromberg and Jill Stahl-Tyler Gardens. Refreshments will be served following the tour at one of the gardens.
