Be Inspired! Parkland Garden Club Tour is Saturday

Ten outstanding private gardens are on this Saturday's Parkland Garden Club tour.

The Parkland Garden Club will present its annual tour of 10 outstanding private gardens—in West Allentown, Schnecksville and Orefield—on Saturday, rain or shine. 

The “Midsummer’s Idylls” tour is an opportunity to get innovative garden ideas as well as to meet and talk to the gardeners. 

This year’s tour will feature David Shimp from Phoebe Floral Shop planting a Faerie garden in a container at one of the gardens and the ever popular Chinese Auction at another. (You might encounter some Shakespearian characters at others!)
