PARTICIPATING GARDENS.  We have five.    Gardeners don’t have to be home, but most will be. No fuss. As you are.   It’s not exactly Paris, but our gardens are unique and different.  To add your garden to the tour send your address to Blogfinger@verizon.net.

An OG  prize for the visitors who stop at Blogfinger headquarters in the mountains  (113 Mt. Hermon Way at Delaware.)  Also cold lemonade.  Bring your cameras.  Dress standard: anything goes, even a glimpse of stocking.

1.  113 Mt. Hermon Way      Eileen.   Backyard garden (enter at Delaware)  with plantings around the periphery of the house.  Fish pond and metal sculpture  (Etruscan Horse)  Will be home.

2.  94 1/2 Heck Avenue.  Jean and Jack. Misc plantings around the house and come to the backyard.  Will be home.  Come and walk around.

3.   47 Broadway.   Ginnie.  “As long as I don’t have to do anything special for the occasion just sign me up! ( Although I may repaint the pixie’s hats – I’ve been meaning to do that as they’ve been looking decidedly shabby lately.) I think that my English garden can best be described as “cheerful” and  “exuberant” – bursting with color and featuring an eclectic assortment of ‘rescued treasures.  Cheers! Ginnie.”

4.  114 Mt.Tabor Way.  Bev and Melinda.  Beautiful manicured yard with a small  pond and other surprises.  And it’s next door to Paul and Eileen.  How lucky that is!

5. 11 Atlantic Avenue.   Anne.    “I’m happy to have my garden included in the the OG People’s Garden Tour. Anyone strolling my block will see see several lovely gardens besides mine.  I agree that OG’s gardens are one of its great charms.”
