Garden Tour Schedule for July 16

Meet at 5:30 at the high school to car pool

The first stop will be Virginia Henessey's on Hwy 70 in Alpha across from the cheese store.

The second stop will be at Mary Griesbach's at 25337 County Road F, north of Grantsburg, 2nd residence on the left. From downtown Grantsburg take Madison west to Oak Street, turn right (north), at Crex Ave (D), turn right and follow this road to F. (I hope that's right!)

The last garden on the tour will be at Mary Charmoli's at 9664 County Road D in Webster, (go back to D and take it east about 10 miles to Charmoli's). Becky and Tim Tessman, Lucille Danielson and Mary Charmoli will provide the refreshments.

Garden Tours

Kris, Janet, Theresa, Ruth, Wanda, Becky and Tim enjoyed the tours of Kris and Ruthie's gardens on June 18. I apologize for not sending out a reminder of this mini-tour. If anyone has digital pictures you would like to share on the blog, please email them to me at pameladavies@yahoo.com and I will post them.

We have our usual summer garden tour of member gardens on July 16. Anyone interested in attending should meet at the high school at 5:30 pm.

Check out the Grantsburg sign

On June 4 Becky and Tim Tessman, Lucille Danielson and Linnea and Rich Seume worked their magic on the Grantsburg sign. Tim watered the night before and Becky reported the weeding was much easier for it. Thank you all for a great job. Tim will continue to water throughout the summer but would love some help with the weeding. Any time you think of it, stop by and pull a few weeds. Grantsburg and the Tessmans will be grateful!
