Notes from tour organizer, Bruce MacNeil:
Join us for the August Garden Tour in Forest Hills. The homes in this area were predominately built by Dutchmen Homes in the 1960s. They were built as the City continued to expand to the South.
All four gardens we will be touring are on Village Road. This is another of the routes that my dog and I walk almost daily. These gardens are quite close to one another in fact two of them have a gate between the gardens so that the owners can easily socialize by walking through their adjoining gate. And the remaining gardens are on the other side of the street. This means that you can easily get to all four gardens on foot.
Three front yards of all residences are designed to be free of grass and the fourth is in the process of gradually becoming grassless and yet they are very different from one another. I love how the colours change throughout the seasons.
Members, find complete tour details, including a map of all four addresses here.
