Sneak preview Wood Co. Master Gardener Garden Tour

by kevanrijn - last update: Jul 18, 2007

There are going to be six gardens featured on the

The Croucher back garden is serene and park-like
2007 Wood County Master Gardeners garden tour on June 24th--all of them located in Williamstown, West Virginia. Other than their zip codes--and their charm--the gardens do not have a great deal in common. To see one is not to see them all, in this case. I'm going to share a sneak preview of three of the six gardens...enjoy! Hope to see you there on Sunday....

The Croucher garden is serene and spacious. The mature trees and ample shade give a park-like feeling to the garden.
The rear veranda offers lovely views of the garden

Bench, potager and mini-barn

The Black's garden has a lovely petit potager

along with a charming barn-like outbuilding. You almost expect to find chickens....

Lovely, large, curving perennial beds

swoop around the house and down through the backyard of the Black's nearly one acre garden.
Sylvia Miles cottage garden

At the Miles's home, Sylvia shows that much can

be done with little in her charming cottage garden.

 Your next trip? Make it really unique! It's not too late to attend WM08 - Jerusalem, Tel Aviv & Dead- Sea on 25- 28th Sept (+Petra 29-30th). We want to double the num of attendees to 100! Click to learn where, when, what, how, how much! Avi [FruitLover].

 Hi to a fellow 'Kim'! I'm originally from Parkersburg, and am so excited to see that the city has a Middle Eastern dining option once again! (there was a Greek restaurant there for YEARS, forget the name now). What entrees, etc. did you try there?
