According to Garden Tour Chair Alice Calhoun, the gardens on the 2019 Garden Tour will be spectacular: “You won’t want to miss this 25th year celebratory garden tour. This year we have both favorite gardens from the past 25 years and well as new gardens. And we have Artists’ Gardens as something really special. Not only have the artists helped design these gardens. but several of the artists will be painting in the gardens and have some of their artwork displayed.” 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 continues, “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 2019 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. Visitors who arrive before Garden Tour ticket sales begin can stop by Deutschheim for a quick visit before the Ticket Sales begin at the Welcome Center.
Before the tour begins, a Garden Party Celebration will be held on Friday, May 31st from 6-9 PM at the Historic Hermann Rotunda and everyone is invited. There will be a silent auction with hors d’oeuvres and a glass of beer or wine is included. Reservations are desired by May 25, 2019, but all are welcome to just drop in and enjoy. The cost is $25 per person to be paid at the door. Reservations can be made by calling (573) 294-6242 or emailing Bartow 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 the Garden Tour and at the Garden Party are used for civic beautification and scholarships for local students. Out of town guests are welcome and we hope to have many Hermann residents as well. We have some amazing auction items.” One of the newest projects is the Tree Project to which the Hermann Garden Club has contributed $5000 to plant trees in Lower City Park. This site will be a stop on this year’s Garden Tour.
