Progressive Neighborhood Garden Walk

This meeting is more of a social event than a neighborhood meeting. It is in conjunction with National Night Out. It will be an opportunity to see some of the spectacular gardens within our neighborhood and hopefully talk with the people who planted them. The walking will begin at 7:00 pm from Christ United Methodist Church. We will be providing maps of participating homes. Show up early to get your map, plan your route and be on the hunt by 7:00. Then stop back afterwards and share what you saw with each other.
