If you live in mid-Missouri, plan on making the 9th Annual Phelps County Master Gardeners' Garden Tour Sunday, June 13, 2010.From native flowers at Rolla's Visitor Center (photo) - do you recognize that pink flower - to private home gardens and Truman Elementary's Experimental Garden, which will include "easy" buttons you can push to summon a helpful student, the annual tour will have something for everyone.
Did I mention the wonderful plant sale featuring plants lovingly potted
by Phelps County Master Gardeners? My extra plants have been ready for 2
months!Tickets are $5 each, available at Sands Farm and Home, Suncliff Nursery and Phelps County Extension Office in Rolla, and Stanley's Garden Center in St. James. Tickets include a brochure with details of each stop as well as a map so you can visit the various gardens at your leisure from 1-5 pm.
Tickets would also make a nice Father's Day gift idea for the gardening Dad, there's little a gardener likes more than to see what other gardeners are doing!
In case of rain, the tour will be rescheduled to Sunday, June 20, which is Father's Day.
By the way, the pink native flower is a Bush's Poppy Mallow.
See you Sunday, June 13 at the plant sale!
