"Sowing the Seeds of Harmony through Nature"
About this activity:
An annual event, the club’s Garden Tour embraces a new theme each year and showcases a variety of local gardens. This tour is the primary fundraising activity for the club. Club members solicit donations for a silent auction, contact and visit potential garden owners, create the program and provide publicity. Two club members are stationed at each garden during the tour to sell and stamp tour books.
Garden lovers from the Parkland area and beyond attended the 26th annual Parkland Garden Tour on Saturday, July 12th. The tour this year featured the unique and creative gardens of 7 of our community members. Tour attendees were invited to speak to the homeowners who shared the artistic evolution of their properties.
Special guests were featured at some of the gardens including Jenny Rose Carey, professional horticulturist and author, Sue Tansits, co-founder of Edge of the Woods Native Plants and Brian Duvall, consultant from Bartlett Tree Experts.
Three of the gardens featured special activities for children under 12 who were able to attend for free.
At the Silent Auction, tour participants placed their bids on a wonderful array of featured gift cards, event tickets and gift baskets.
PGC would like to thank all who contributed to the success of this event including property owners, our generous sponsors, and members and businesses who donating to the silent auction. We are very grateful!
