1st Annual Garden Walk
Date: July 14, 2022
Time: 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The City of Gillett Tourism and Marketing Commission is hosting the 1st Annual Garden Walk! This is an opportunity for people to tour the gardens of our neighbors and friends – while learning how to incorporate their own ideas into their landscape. We have a plethora of residents who take great pride in their landscape. Gardens of all sorts are planned to be showcased: shade gardens, raised-bed gardens, seasonal gardens, hardscapes, waterfall features, and even those with small spaces! (Rain date is scheduled for Friday, July 15.)
Passes are $15 per person and are available for purchase at Gillett City Hall or Gillett Public Library. Maps will be provided when the pass is purchased.
Our first walk has 8 sites to visit - each one with its own uniqueness. You’ll find small spaces utilized best for wooded areas for foraging and nature viewing.
- Displays of native perennials with backyard entertaining and water feature
- Perennial show from spring to fall
- Shade-lovers paradise overlooking the lake
- Various species complement the home
- Community area with hardscaping and artwork
- Small-space garden with flourishing annuals and perennials
- Purposeful gardening using raised beds
- Stroll through a nature trail complete with a scenic pavilion
Our after-event will be an opportunity for people to relax and share their experiences during the tour, be provided with educational material from UW-Extension on how to start their own gardening project, how to plant for our zone, preserve over winter, preserve and harvest goods (vegetables, fruits, herbs, seeds), and cooking. Come join us and relax on the outdoor patio or cool off inside! (145 N. McKenzie Ave., Gillett)
