Members of the Parkland Garden Club opened their gardens to visitors recently to showcase a variety of perennial and annual gardens, backyard spaces, ponds, pools, rock formations, birdhouses, waterfalls and more.

Ten gardens were on the annual “Hidden Garden Treasures” tour; all proceeds help the club fund the educational scholarship program for deserving high school seniors as well as other community activities and outreach programs.

“A special thank you must go out to the gardeners of the Parkland area for allowing us to showcase their efforts and allowing you, as a visitor, to enjoy the results of many hours of landscaping, planning, pruning, nurturing and tidying their lovely gardens,” Parkland Garden Club President Randy Wenhold said in a message in the program. “We, at the Parkland Garden Club, send our wholehearted thanks for allowing us to intrude upon your personal space for one day in order that we and the general public can enjoy the fruits of your labors.”

The club meets 7:30 p.m. on the second Monday of the month at Jordan Lutheran Church, 5103 Snowdrive Road, Orefield.

Members learn horticultural techniques, floral design, enter monthly competitions, participate in Arbor Day tree planting, give seedlings to first-grade students in the Parkland School District, maintain the 1994 butterfly garden at Wehr’s Dam and more.
