Keep Carbondale Beautiful announces Garden Tour
Carbondale, Ill. May 23,
2016 –
Keep Carbondale Beautiful
has been lining
up gardens for their third annual garden tour, set for Sunday, June 5,
from 11
am to 3 pm. The tour is self-guided:
participants can drive or even bicycle to all the gardens. They are all
within city limits. Tickets and maps can be purchased for
$5/person at the Old Train Depot (corner of Main and Illinois).
Among
the highlights this year are water features, hummingbird habitat, and gardens
that sparkle. The personality and
passion of the homeowner is expressed in the garden. At one home, 300 hummingbirds were banded last
year. At another, a fascination with
rocks has led to an amazing collection. KCB
Board Member Sandy Litecky organized the tour:
“Of course the homes all have curb appeal, but it’s what’s waiting in
back that takes your breath away. “
