Late blooms in pastoral settings will be stars of a tour through seven gardens Saturday. The gardens include features such as a lily-scaped pond, terraced hillside waterfall and raised-bed kitchen garden.
Orchards and woodlands also will be part of the walk.
The gardens are at private homes, from a 3-acre country retreat to 35-acre estate.
The Bull Valley Garden Club is organizing the walk. Proceeds will go toward horticulture scholarships, a garden therapy program at Valley-Hi Nursing Home in Woodstock and other community service programs.
Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 the day of the walk. To order by mail, make checks payable to the Bull Valley Garden Club, P.O. Box 176, Woodstock, IL 60098.
