Nappanee Garden Club Announces 2006 Tour
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
NAPPANEE - "Getaway Gardens" is the theme of the 2006 Nappanee Home and Garden Club annual walk, set for June 17.
One getaway is behind the home of Dick and Sue Conrad on Marion Street. The Conrads have made an oasis out of their back yard where dwarf fruit trees were planted years ago. Well, most of them are dwarf, a couple have grown to full size.
The orchard was planted in raised beds, sharing space with vegetable plants.
Lovely perennials line the interior and exterior walls.
Sue said birds flit in and out of their yard all the time.
What's not taken up in orchard and garden is occupied by a nice-sized swimming pool. Dick said his standard yardwear is a bathing suit. If he starts to get hot, he just dives into the pool.
The Conrads' garden is one of six city and rural retreats open on the tour.
The walk begins at Nappanee's historic Depot Plaza on South Main Street (Ind. 19) one block south of U.S. 6. Ticket sales begin at 8:30 a.m. and a tour map and garden brochure will be available. The gardens will be open for public display from 8:45 a.m. to 3 p.m., allowing time to thoroughly browse and enjoy the personal havens created by avid gardeners.
Refreshments will be provided at one of the homes.
Tickets are $5. All proceeds are used for beautification projects in Nappanee. For more information, call Linda Thompson at 574-773-4196.
The Nappanee Home and Garden Club members maintain the Depot Plaza flowerbeds. They recently worked cleaning beds, planting flowers and readying the area for the upcoming garden walk and other special events held in the summer. [[In-content Ad]]
