Saline MI garden tour July 9

18 years ago

Well, my garden club is having a tour on July 9-$10. I was disappointed that they did not want my 2 1/2 acres, as it is further out in the country. And only 4 years old. Well, at least it is saving me lots of work this summer. Maybe in 4 years it will look mature, and I will have have my plan finished.

I know how you feel! But I hope you don't take it personally. I too felt "unwanted" when I offered my garden the first time, then later found out that the slate was full 2 years in advance. Our club also tries to select gardens in clusters across the city & township so that visitors don't spend a lot of time driving, but still get spread out through the area to cut down on congestion in each garden. I'm glad I didn't get selected the first time -- the garden is much better now and I've had more time to plan.
Happy Gardening!
