The 2018 Garden Walk will feature a new twist on the traditional format of area garden walks. This year’s gardens will showcase sustainable practices including the use of native plants, green belts to preserve the shore line, selective tree pruning and water friendly herbicides and pesticides. At the same time, attendees will enjoy the traditional format of viewing beautiful gardens with identifiable plantings that work well in either shady or sunny Michigan locations.

Also new this year, the garden club will team with area environmentalists to offer attendees the chance to learn more about water and land conservation. Caring for both land and water today will help to ensure clean water, clean air and the preservation of the scenic beauty of Northern Michigan.
