Daylily Society of Minnesota garden tour Sunday, July 18

The Daylily Society of Minnesota garden tour is this Sunday, July 18. If anyone would like to attend and ride with Kristie, she would love to have company on the drive to meet the bus!

From Kristie:

The tour costs $10 for members, $15 for non-members, and DSM membership only costs $5/year. We travel on a deluxe motorcoach bus, the trip includes lunch and refreshments, and we will be seeing 4 very nice gardens for the day. We are touring the northwest quadrant of the Twin Cities this year in the Buffalo and Monticello area. We will meet the bus in the Wayzata area, and would probably have to leave our area around 6-6:30 AM; the tour probably gets done around 3-3:30 PM, so we would be back before supper.

I personally toured the gardens this spring and they include Gary Schaben (a well-known MN. Hybridizer with lots of interesting seedlings), Darrell Johnson (former Board member and budding hybridizer with a beautiful rock/water garden, vegetables, & apples in a former apple orchard property), and Mick Raeker (budding hybridizer and maniacal gardener of five acres), plus Mick’s neighbor, who has a large water garden, pretty garden beds, and fun ‘antique-filled playhouses’ in her back yard.

Please let me know asap if you’d like to come with me; I will work out the arrangements with you later this week.

I know there was still room on the bus as of last Friday. You will have to email President & Tour Leader Amanda Engstrom at: amandaengstrom@netscape.net to register and find out how she would like you to pay (mail or bring check?).

Hope you can make it!

As of yesterday there were ten seats on the bus. Email Kristie at 715-689-2333
