Be Inspired...Mark your calendar for Columbia Springs' 2008 Earth-friendly Garden Tour! Sunday, July 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Earth-friendly Garden Tour, offered in partnership with Clark County Solid Waste Program, is an opportunity for Clark County residents to be inspired by local gardeners who use natural gardening techniques. Earth-friendly gardens are healthier for children, pets, wildlife and our rivers and streams.

The self-guided Earth-friendly Garden Tour highlights 15 gardens throughout the Clark County area, with host gardeners and volunteers on hand to answer questions about alternatives to chemicals, natural pest remedies, and plant species that support native wildlife. Fifteen Clark County gardens will be featured, with ten gardens returning from previous years’ tours and five new gardens.
