2009 MHS Garden Tour & Silent Auction
Saturday,
June 6, 2009 starting at 7:30AM
Meet at Baker Park Driftwood Pavilion, Co Rd 19 Maple Plain
Summer is almost here hostaphiles and it’s time to plan on joining us for the MHS Garden Tour and Auction on June 6th. The gardens are going to be exciting, and the auction will be surprising! This year’s tour is showcased with four spectacular gardens, all on the west side of town. The gardens include:
Julie Carley & Gary Mosiman’s sunny perennial beds in the front yard, with an arbor leading to the backyard perennial garden, filled with hosta and perennials in a multi-level garden.
Pat Carlson’s home, which has a maze garden, dry creek bed, waterfall, pond, and of course our favorite, hosta.
Gayle & Chuck McGriff, long time hosta members, who have extensive shade gardens, a swale, interesting rock collection, and more hosta to enjoy.
Cindy & Ted Kopacek’s garden which includes many sunny perennials, shade plants, water features, and angels. You may have seen their garden featured on a “Grow with Kare” segment on Channel 11 last Mother’s Day.
Don’t hesitate, and don’t be late, as the buses will pull out at 8:00AM sharp to begin the adventure through these fabulous gardens. After touring the gardens in the morning, we will return to Baker Park Reserve Driftwood Pavilion for the auction and lunch. Peruse the auction tables, salivate over the hostas and garden treasures, and place your bids. The silent auction will be quick, and you certainly don’t want to be outbid! The traditional auction will include a variety of plants, with a few premium hostas and the world famous brown bag hosta to entice you all.
Space is limited, so fill out and return your registration form with payment by May 25th. The tour and auction is open to MHS members and their guests.
