Suzanne Ford, President of MGHC, comments: The Master Gardeners of Hamilton County are delighted to present our 2021 annual Garden Tour! This year’s tour will feature five late-summer gardens, each with its own distinctive focus, including four private gardens and one public garden, all located in the Ooltewah/Collegedale area. We invite people to celebrate the diversity that gardening has to offer – from a naturalistic landscape with native plants, a unique and fanciful cottage garden with many hidden treasures, to the creative use of containers for beautiful plantings or an abundance of vegetables and herbs. In keeping with our mission of education, we are highlighting the Bonny Oaks Arboretum, a public garden that has been a Hamilton County Master Gardener project for many years. We hope visitors will appreciate the passion and vision that has gone into creating these unique gardens and will take away ideas for their own backyards!”
