GARDEN CLUB - TOUR

On Tuesday, July 24^th. a number of members from the Kewaunee County Garden Club came here to tour the gardens. A great group of people who obviously love gardening, make their yards look beautiful, and do lots of volunteer hours beautifying public spaces throughout the county. So nice of them to visit.

They walked around checking-out a number of the twelve different garden rooms here at Waters East. This was followed by a monthly meeting in the Asia Patio.

Here are a number of photos from the tour.

The early arrivals.

Spider Web - art and design

For three days this past week, fog rolled in off Lake Michigan. There were times that it was so thick one could not even see the lake. When the sun finally came out, in walking in the gardens, I saw literally thousands of webs. So many, and so many designs. Thought you would enjoy the patterns as much as I did.
