Prospect Park Garden Walk & Plant Sale (Summer)

The 11th annual Garden Walk & Plant Sale is scheduled for Saturday, June 21, 2008 from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Due to last year's plant sale success, we will again be having a Plant Sale at Pratt Elementary School.

The Garden Walk is free. Prospect Park is located west of Hwy 280 along University Avenue, with a landmark of the Witch's Hat Water Tower as part of the neighborhood. Pick up a map on the day of the walk at Schneider Drugs, Cupcake, or Overflow on SE University Ave or Signature Cafe on SE Warwick St. or Pratt Elementary School.

You will be able to tour around 20 local gardens that cover a variety of garden types: perennial and annual, vegetable and flower, shade and sun. Besides viewing fronts of yards, you may be invited to view waterfalls and ponds in some backyards!

Expect to see innovative use of space and growing conditions, especially shade (which Prospect Park has in abundance).

The Plant Sale will be located outside Pratt Elementary School. It's a fund raiser for the programs that the Prospect Park Garden Club supports such as: programs for buckthorn removal.

The Prospect Park Garden Walks began in 1996 and continued through 2003. There were no Garden Walks in 2004 or 2005. The Garden Walks resumed in 2006.
