Gearing up for the Garden Tour

Once again, the Wimberley Garden Club invites you to explore the stories of our diverse, nature-loving community during its annual garden tour, Saturday, May 11, from 9 am to 3 pm.

This year’s self-guided journey will take you from post-flood Blanco riverside recovery to Woodcreek diamond-in-the-rough creativity to scrappy outland gardening on the Hays/Blanco border. Tickets are $20 and will be available from April 15 to May 6 at www.wimberleygardenclub.org (by credit card) and from May 6 to 11 at the Wimberley Visitor’s Center (cash or check only). Tour guides and admittance wristbands will be available at the Visitor’s Center on the day of the tour.

The Wimberley Valley Art League is collaborating with the Garden Club for the third year, and artists will create and sell their beautiful works at each of the gardens – oils, acrylics, jewelry, mixed media, sculpture and more. The tour’s popular Garden Lovers Market will offer canvas shopping bags painted and signed by Art League members, as well as beautifully decorated watering cans, whimsical rock art and, of course, a selection of native and adapted plants to enhance your own landscape. As usual, all proceeds will benefit the Wimberley Garden Club’s annual donations to local restoration, beautification and community gardening projects.

The Garden Club is also continuing its educational focus to help folks respect, create and enjoy successful gardening in the ever-changing and often surprising “palette” of the Texas Hill Country. Specialists in honeybee attraction and preservation, water-wise gardening, poultry raising and birding will be at various locations, as well as Garden Club members, Master Gardeners and Master Naturalists to help you identify plants, answer questions and offer tips.

Everyone who enjoys the “Little Bit of Heaven” that we call home has experienced the perennial Hill Country challenges of gardening with rocks, deer and intermittent bouts of drought and flood. The Wimberley Garden Club has been dedicated to helping fellow homeowners, businesses and community organizations deal with these challenges – and enjoy the rewards – for more than 25 years.

Monthly meetings welcome both members and visitors at the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection, 101 W. Spoke Hill Drive in Wimberley, on the second Wednesday of the month September to May. Breakfast is served at 9:30 am, and programs start at 10.
