Westerwood Garden Friends' Updates
Greensboro Council of Garden Club Tours
Despite the threat of showers and then the foreshadowing of temperatures to come, Greensboro garden lovers turned out to see the six private gardens and the public Healing Gardens at Wesley Long on May 18 & 19.
This year two of the beautiful gardens selected showcased our beloved Westerwood in the best possible ways. It is abundantly clear when gardening is a labor of love and that was on full display at the homes of the Cleggs at 306 Crestland and the Youngs at 905 Fairmont. The homeowners, along with volunteers, were on hand to welcome visitors to their gardens, share the history of their homes, and talk about how all their garden plantings and efforts come together creating a botanical canvas.
Visitors got to see not only lots of NC native species, trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, vines, water features and management, garden structures like trellises and arches, fairy villages, statuaries, planters, pots, walls, with herbs and edibles mixed in, but also, the artistic talents of these experienced gardeners. They know how to mix colors, textures, heights, and varieties while weaving in the whimsical, unique and antique touches that makes you want to pause and soak it all up.
Resurrecting the garden tours after a 10 year pause, The GSO Council of Garden Clubs sold approximately 150 tickets raising money to fund various projects such as their Yard of the Month Program, Educational Classes, Garden Therapy for Nursing Homes, as well as partnering with Habitat for Humanity to name a few. It just goes to show that there is no end to how much pleasure and joy gardens add to our lives and in ways that we aren't always aware of.
