In its 87th year, the Elk Rapids Garden Club is pleased to announce the bi-annual Garden Walk on July 17 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with the theme of: “Color it Blue: Celebrate Water.”
Six delightful gardens will educate visitors on promoting and preserving our Northern Michigan Waterways through the adoption of sustainable practices. Club members, Master Gardeners, as well as area conservationists will be on hand to assist in providing guests with information on what they can do to assist in this endeavor.
The biannual garden walk has become one of the clubs most notable events. Past recognition includes Michigan Consultants Council/MGC 2016 Landscape Garden Walk Award: 1st Place.
