2014 Master Gardener Hutchinson Garden Tour
You
are invited to Master Gardeners' sixth annual Hutchinson Garden Tour on
Saturday, June 7 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Spend a
relaxing day touring and enjoying some of Hutchinson's most beautiful and inspiring
gardens and landscapes.
Visit
the hidden floral treasures of five private gardens plus Master Gardener's Demonstration
Garden on the Hutchinson Community College Campus. Enjoy gardens that showcase unusual trees, shrubs
and flowers, creative landscapes and relaxing outdoor living spaces. Highlights of this year's tour include a
European cottage garden with intriguing walkways and hidden gardens; a sweeping
yard and veranda accented with fabulous hydrangeas
and a vast array of shrubs and flowers; an exquisite serene urban sanctuary with
a waterfall and water cascading over rock formations into seven ponds; a
mid-century modern landscape with unique lighting fixtures and hardscaping, plus
unusual plants including a 50 year old gingko tree, a fig bush, and lilac
trees; a
neglected property rescued and transformed into a natural country
setting with organic flower and vegetable gardens on a 3-lot property; and
Master Gardener's demonstration garden featuring a wide variety of Prairie Star
annuals, perennials, shrubs and ornamental grasses chosen to thrive in our
tough Kansas summers.
New
for the 2014 Garden Tour are professional horticulture speakers at the gardens. Learn about pruning shrubs and trees from an
arborist, creating stunning hardscapes and water features, managing your turf,
composting and vermiculture, soil testing, and growing annuals best suited to our
challenging Kansas weather. Your ticket will include a map of the garden
locations and the schedule of short educational talks at each garden. Informational materials are available on each
subject all day. Reno County Extension
