Master Gardener's Garden Tour - Con't.

 

#6 ~ Heritage Home Gardens. Guests were invited to come and sit on the wraparound porch of this 95-year-old home and enjoy the variety of informal gardens. Features included a vegetable garden, cactus and succulent garden, sunny perennial gardens, and a peaceful shade garden. Many enjoyed them and all the beauty they brought.

 

#7 ~ Wooded Retreat. A unique combination of natural habitats blended with a park-like setting to produce a special garden experience. Gardening ingenuity abounded with the use of wetlands, woodlands, wildflowers, ornamental grasses, and many native plants. Many enjoyed the cottage and shade gardens.
 

 

#8 ~ River Birch Nature Gardens. Seven acres of formal gardens and natural areas showcased this marriage of humans and nature. Three major garden areas featured perennials, annuals, ornamental trees and bushes. Two enclosed sun rooms were open for the day. Water abounded, with many pools, waterfalls, a natural spring, half acre pond, and a creek flowing gently through the gardens. Many came for a short easy stroll or a longer hike in the back woods to see the varied treasures.
