Tamara & Bill Lowe's Garden	Tomia Lowe's Garden	Kelli & Dwayne Williams' Garden
A family project has resulted in a mix of old-fashioned perennials and annuals planted among the established trees and shrubs. Three porches showcase hanging baskets and potted plants and convenient  to the back door is a vegetable garden.	This homeowner believes that our living     areas should serve and grow with us such   as for enjoying wildlife and for therapy and   relaxation. This garden has hosted 3     weddings and 7 trees that surround the     large pond are memorials.	Park onsite by the red barn and walk to a       cozy country home with white fence.   Through the garden gate lies a beautiful   pond planted with water plants and     surrounded by perennial and annual color.
Ron & Karen Long's Garden	Mercedes & Walter McPherson's Garden	Keith & Candi Scheiderer's Garden
This Master Gardener and her husband tend the small orchard and vegetable garden and will be displaying canned fruits, jams, jellies and vegetables. The picturesque home with multi-leveled deck is also surrounded with heritage perennials and has a spacious backyard and pond.	You'll find a large brick patio at the back of this Cape Cod home which features a bubbling fountain and wisteria covered pergola. The gardens provide fresh vegetables, herbs and cut flowers. In a low area, the homeowner has constructed a simulated creek bed covered with rocks.	The mixed containers, window boxes and water garden all add visual effect. Visitors will walk to the home from the garden center through display beds that are planted with all the perennials and shrubs that the garden center offers for sale. A demonstration entitled "H20 Plus" will be held onsite the day of the tour.
	Pam & Danny Burns' Garden
	Her son, as a 4-H project, and a landscaper friend helped her plan the first of many perennial beds. Clever and Whimsical venues are planted with thousands of annuals and are alive with color. A potting shed and kids' playhouse have been added for practical use and for decoration.

It took many helping hands to get the Tour of Gardens completed.  Below is a picture of the many volunteers that helped make the 2005 Tour of Gardens such a success!
