The Linn County Master Gardeners annual Garden Walk, set for Saturday, July 7, 2018, will feature something new.
A “garden crawl” will allow visitors to have a card stamped at each garden on the tour for a chance to win a beautiful garden bench.
Admission for the garden tour, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, is just $5 per person.
This year’s theme is “Seeds of Kindness,” with a special bit of kindness at each site.
The Garden Crawl Bench location and compost bags with be at the Usher Garden. Pollinator “Seeds of Kindness” packets will be at the Havlik Garden. Musicians will be at the Schultze Garden. Dandelion cookies will be at the Friedman Garden, and lily greeting cards will be at the Lunn Garden.
