16^th Garden & Arts Tour

Mark your calendars for Sunday, June 25th, for the 16th Garden & Arts Tour sponsored by the Flower Lovers Garden Club. This week we are highlighting the Chadd Farm Garden which is one of the 9 garden stops on the tour. Lori & Richard Chadd’s farm is located on west Country Club Rd. and provides a peaceful getaway for tourgoers. Highlighted in the “Party Barn” behind the home, is our plant sale where you can purchase very reasonably priced perennial & annuals. Other gardens will include music, artists, & garden related items for purchase along with refreshments.

When the Chadds purchased the property 6 years ago, many updates were made removing old bushes for new colors and plant varieties. The Chadds have added 2 rock gardens, along with raised vegetable/flower beds & several mini gardens around the property. Come and experience peaceful life on the farm where you might spot an eagle or young hawk in the adjoining pasture. Purchase your tickets now, maybe for a Mother’s Day gift, at these locations: Progreen Garden Center, Davidson Greenhouse, Country Hearts & Flowers, Milligan’s Flowers, Mo. Co. Visitors Bureau, Just Because, Athens Art Gallery, & Crawfordsville Library. Athens Art Gallery is a bonus stop on the tour! Tickets are $12, under age 12 free. Proceeds go towards Community Beautification. Garden & Arts Tour times are 11-5 rain or shine.
