According to Garden Tour Chair Alice Calhoun, the gardens on the 2018 Garden Tour will be beautiful, and many will be new to the tour. Town Tour gardens often are either lovely cottage gardens or river-view gardens. Country Tour estate gardens tend to be much larger than Town Tour gardens and have different elements and features. Calhoun says, “To get an overview of the beauty of Hermann’s gardens, visit our website at www.hermanngardentours.com. On our website, you will see gardens that have been on previous tours. And you will be amazed.”
The ever-popular Demonstration area will return in 2018 at the Deutschheim State Historic Site. There will be information about crop rotation, companion planting, and heirloom plants. There are often other special activities; this is a not-to-be-missed garden.
During the tour on Saturday, June 2nd, a Silent Auction and Luncheon will be held at 11:30 AM at the Historic Hermann Rotunda. This is open to all who make reservations by May 20, 2018. Guests will feast on a delicious lunch while they bid on auction items. Reservations are required and can be made by calling (573) 294-6242 or emailing Bartow Molloy at bartowmolloy@centurytel.net..
Hermann, named “the most beautiful city in Missouri” and a Missouri DREAM city, has many wineries, over 60 bed and breakfasts inns, many antique and specialty shops, and galleries. Plan to spend the night and spread the tour over both days.
Garden Club President Linda Stevens urges local people to support these events as well since “Funds raised at these events are used for civic beautification and scholarships.”
