City gardens — how they grow and how to grow them — will be the theme of the garden tour to be sponsored by the Central West End Association on Thursday, May 6, 1976, from 10:00 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The day’s activities will start with a talk by Mr. Robert Dingwall at the Lehmann Building of the Missouri Botanical Garden, 2323 Tower Grove Ave., at 10:00 a.m. Mr. Dingwall will focus on the particular flowers and plants that grow well in sun, in shade and the time of year that is best for each. In his talk, he will suggest uses for water in small pools and fountains and give ideas for methods of planning a city garden. He will also speak directly about some of the gardens to be included in the tour.
Mrs. Bruce R. Yoder has been named general chairman for the event by Norman J. Tice, president. Assisting her is Mrs. George Morrison. After Mr. Dingwall’s talk, tour members will disperse to visit the various gardens listed on the tickets for the tour. Brochures describing the gardens will be provided both at the Lehmann auditorium and at each garden on the tour.
Reservations for the Central West End Garden Tour may be made through Monday, May 3, by calling or writing the Central West End Association, 304a N. Euclid, St. Louis, Missouri 63108. Phone: 361-5133. Advance reservations, $3.00 each. At the door, $3.50.
