Press Release
Alta Vista Garden Club is presenting its biennial garden tour on Saturday, June 9th from 8:00AM to 4:00 PM. Ticket holders will enjoy creative blends of perennials, annuals, native plants and vegetables located in private gardens in Prescott's varied landscapes. The self-guided tour features:
10-acres of gardening delights including edible plants with numerous "garden rooms", a variety of flowers, shrubs and an apple orchard planted in a Belgian-style fence.
A four-season garden highlighted by an arbor, fountain, sculptures and antique benches creating a European ambiance.
Woodland wildlife and sloping terrain create ongoing challenges for our gardener who has fashioned a successful blend of perennials, annuals, vegetables and a water feature.
An English grandfather and Butchart Gardens have inspired this lovely fusion of flowers, shrubs, and ivy among Ponderosa pines and granite boulders.
A surprise opening in the woods reveals a multi-tiered Koi pond, artistic vegetable garden, and a native plant hillside.
Just beyond a picket fence ticketholders will find native bloomers, a gazebo and a
children's secret garden.
