Welcome to the 2006 Bethlehem Garden Tour
We hope each of you, whether a seasoned gardener or just a beginner, will learn of new plants, gardening techniques, landscaping ideas, and be able to incorporate some of them into your own environment. Please feel free to ask the garden owners and volunteer hostesses any questions you might have. They are there to share with you their joy of gardening. Be sure to take notes and even make sketches so that you will be able to remember all the beautiful things you have seen.
The tour committee: Merri Meislahn, Ellie Prakken, Marcy Corneil, Doris Kirk, Iva Zornow, Lois Dorman, and Elaine Loder. Featured plants we have for sale are false goat's beard, false indigo, vipers bugloss, snow hill salvia, northern sea oat grass, Stella de Oro daylilies and many, many more! Plant sale Committee: Peggy Mull, Angel Jada, Doris Kirk
If you would like more information on the Bethlehem Garden Club or if you have a garden you would like to share on a subsequent garden tour, please call Ellie Prakken, 439-7559 |

Thank you for joining us on the tenth annual Bethlehem Garden Tour sponsored by the Bethlehem Garden Club.
The Bethlehem Garden Club continues its interest in beautifying our Town. In the
past few years we have been actively planting gardens to enhance the entrances
to Town. Our first garden at the intersection of Kenwood and Cherry Ave.,
recently won an award from the National Perennial Plant Society. Another garden
was planted on Rt. 9W near Stewart's and the Delmar By-pass. We also did a small
native plant garden at the intersection of Delaware Ave. and the "Yellow
Brick Rd." across from Hoffman's Car Wash. We have a "Cottage
Garden" at the triangle of Maple Ave. and Cottage Lane in Selkirk. Our
newest addition, still in progress, is a walk-though garden at Bethlehem Town
Hall, planted on May 23, 2006. In past coordination with Bethlehem First, we
have planted 50+ trees along Delaware and Kenwood Aves., and we have planted
hundreds of daffodils around town in public spaces encouraging both residents
and businesses to follow suit. The proceeds from the Garden Tour go towards
these projects and new projects of beautification that we are continually
developing.
We would like to say a special "Thank You" to all the garden owners
and our volunteer garden hosts for sharing their time, energy, expertise and
gardens for this project.
