WALTERS GARDEN TOUR

                                                                
      Our June 14 meeting will find us touring the amazing Walters Gardens in Zeeland at 7 pm.
This meeting will be held the second Thursday of the month due to the conflict of the date with the National American Hemerocallis Society Convention in Myrtle Beach.  Barb Balgoyen will once again be sharing her knowledge of perennials while showing us the inner workings of Walters.  You may start arriving at 6:00 pm and stroll through the assorted and beautiful display gardens near the parking lots.  Walters Gardens is located at 1992 96th Avenue, Zeeland, MI 49464

      The public is welcome to attend at no charge.
