MICHIGAN REGIONAL LILY SOCIETY GARDEN WALK

SATURDAY, JULY 24TH, 10:00-12:00,
with a short General Meeting following the tours
at the home of John and Eileen Evans.

Please begin the garden walk at the home of
Past President Theresa Fodale(Phone 248-360-9206)
3212 Edgewood Park Drive
Commerce Township

Edgewood Park Drive is South off Commerce Rd. and West of Union Lake Rd.

Theresa lives on Lower Straits Lake. Over the years she has added to her gardens and now her main garden goes the length of her back yard right down to the lake. Her gardens contain a variety of beautiful plants including many lilies.

PARKING: There is an empty lot immediately adjacent to her property.

Theresa's neighbor, Kay, has volunteered to have her gardens open for viewing. I was there yesterday and have to say that I have never seen a garden organized like Kay's gardens. She has hundreds and hundreds of up facing LAs! She plants them in groups of 25 and has never divided them in 9 years. Theresa will give you directions to Kay's house.

The third garden, and the short meeting, will be at the home of Eileen and John Evans (Phone # 248-681-6453)
3378 Erie Drive
Orchard Lake, MI

The Evans home is located on Cass Lake, about 7 miles west of the Fodale's home, off Commerce Road. Erie Drive is a horseshoe shaped street running directly behind Our Lady of Refuge Church. Their two next door neighbors have given permission for the MRLS members to also tour their gardens.

PARKING: There is an empty lot for parking right next door.

Rain or shine, we hope to see you.
