McCOOK,Nebraska -- The Good Earth Garden Club toured one garden in Culbertson and four gardens in McCook.

Culbertson Garden:

Joan Calvin has a huge garden in the country outside Culbertson. Joan changes and add more shrubs, trees, planters and flowers every year in her ever-expanding garden. Joan has annual flowers, shrubs and perennials to ensure something is in bloom all season.

McCook Gardens:

Lisa Beideck gave a tour of her late Mom's (Pat Peters) garden. The highlight of Pat's garden is a shaded deck in her backyard where she grew an array of annual potted plants. It created a cool shady space to enjoy a sunny afternoon sipping lemonade.

Donna Hall has decorated her home with colorful window boxes and a whiskey barrel cart full of cascading annuals. She also has a great vegetable garden in her backyard and a colorful assortment of annuals off the alley.

Cathy Eaton spends many hour in her backyard adding special touches to make her garden special. One special addition is a camper which she has transformed into a garden shed/child dream playhouse.

Clarice Kenney enjoys decorating her garden with collectibles, statues and large pots full of annuals. Her garden also has masses of shrubs, trees and "Knock-Out" roses.

Clarice, Jane Guthrie and Maureen Wood, the hosts for the evening, served a delicious snack and drinks outside in the Kenney Garden.
