Pat VandenHeede’s property in 1908 was part of a golf course which made

planting it difficult due to the sandy soil after she purchased the home in the

1990s. Now, it’s like a finely landscaped cool forest path. (Shopper News photo by

gifts and grants,” she noted, “and

they do a fabulous job of maintaining

a stunning campus that is enormous

and they provide educational oppor-

tunities through the Kaleidoscope

Garden to youths so we want to con-

tinue to support that jewel in Battle

Creek.”

Most of the garden committee

members are also members of the

Calhoun County Master Gardener

Association (CCMGA) which any-

one can join whether they are certi-

fied MSU Master Gardeners or not,

said Stetler.

“You can just be an avid gardener

and come and learn and join the

group,” she said.

In fact, many members of the

CCMGA volunteer to help LAS

maintain the gardens at the West

Michigan Avenue city park which is not on the tour this year as it has been in the past. “It’s always such a fun weekend,” said Stetler, “and we’re hoping people come out and join us. The ticket is good for two days so if they want to do a few of the gardens on Saturday and the rest on Sunday, they can.” Gardens on the tour are owned by:

Dawn and Peter Ware at 7527
Stoney Creek Drive, Augusta.
Dawn is a well experienced gar-
dener of more than 22 years now.
She enjoys drafting plans prior to
planting anything in the ground.
Her love of gardening, she said,
stems from her grandmother, an
aunt and an old neighbor.
She claims she started with formal
gardens but has evolved into more of
a cottage style garden.
She enjoys the mixture of both

sun and shade plants, perennials and annuals including some vegetables. “Dawn has become very creative and incorporates planters, boxes, fountains, hardscape paths and gates and trellis for vines,” according to her garden description. Peter Ware handles woodworking fixtures for the yard such as an arbor and decorative gate. Visitors will find their large yard easily accessible, the committee said.

Jill Cornell and son, Ryan, at
7510 Stoney Creek Drive, Augusta.
Gardening for 24 years, Jill
describes hers as a perennial garden
using colors that catch her eye and
they will probably catch yours as
well. Jill also made use of natural
landscape materials such as rock to

complement her garden with help from her son Ryan. You will see tiered rock gardens and stone walk- ways engineered by him. Jill was influenced by both her mother and her friend Dawn on her gardening style, and it just continued to grow. In fact, Dawn’s garden is also featured this year on the Garden Tour across the street from Jill’s. Special features of the cottage garden include an arbor, paths and raised beds. There are also some small water features enhancing the gardens. Due to the sloping areas, this garden is not wheelchair accessible.
