On Thursday July 20th the Shelby Twp. Garden Club hosted their annual
Garden Walk with about 7 Gardens in the area. |
 |
Master Gardener, Lucille Day, was helping out at the Garden of Martin and Lydia
Kamensky. About 600 people attended throughout the day. |

We enjoyed the New Pond created by Kristine. |

Martin posing with some of his daylilies, in fact about a acre of them, what a sight.
Martin also has many unusual varieties of perennials, and Lydia is the Vegetable Gardener.
One of the Mystery Plants was a Voodoo Lily that has been growing for 10 years.
Martin has created a little micro climate for it which is similar to
conditions in zone 10. There are always surprises in every garden.   |

Jo Sova's Garden
|
 |
The first day of August brought the Macomb County Master Gardeners to
Jo Sova's Garden in Ray Twp, at the
north end of Macomb County.
It was a rainy day, but by mid afternoon, out came the sun and we were treated to a walk in Gala
Gardens. Shown in the picture is Jo Sova Showing off her unique
sign and again posing under the Wisteria, that Jo has trained up a pole to look
like a tree.
The pergola in center yard was made by husband Al. Jo has canna's that stay in the ground year after year in her own microclimate
she has created. We especially enjoyed the soothing sound from the new pond the Sova's added this year.
About GALA GARDENS Jo says: " We have a continual progression of plants, grasses and
vegetables. Perennials abound with a touch of annuals for some added interest. We have added, changed and evolved over a 11 year period and
are still working to improve each year".

Pat Wise Garden
|
 |
Master Gardener from the class of '97 Pat Wise of Clinton Twp. Macomb
County was host for the Garden Walk on August 2nd.
This small garden features two Arbors one with Passion Vine. As you
enter through a Moon Arched Garden Gate covered with roses, you follow the stone path to view, shade
perennials under the oak tree. Beyond this shade area, is now a sunny area, new to this garden (neighbors took out
15 large Austrian pines that were 30 years old). Lots of instant sun and
the loss of much privacy. Lucille was sitting in the shade looking
at the many gazing balls in the garden.

There are birms in front with a swing and weeping Larch tree.
Hosta beds designed by Anni and lots of varieties to look at since Al and Anni have
included surprises at every turn. There is lots to see including many hanging baskets and
annuals. I just can not describe it all.
