    Free Garden Tours This Sunday

    If you’d like some fun outdoor exploring to do this weekend, head to Ganther’s Place or Woodland Park. Each neighborhood is sponsoring a free garden tour on Sunday afternoon, from noon to 5pm. Ganther’s Place will have live music, a raffle, refreshments, shuttle transportation and a special feature of Art Work created by Stewart Elementary Art Students. They will also be unveiling a new neighborhood mural. The Woodland Park tour will feature a first year garden on a budget, a dog-friendly backyard with a vegetable garden and a colorful garden with a mural. Woodland Park‘s boundaries are  the area from Broad Street (along Franklin Park) to Maryland Avenue (along I-670) to the north, Taylor Avenue (near OSU Hospital East) to the west and to the Norfolk & Western Railroad track (near Nelson Road) to the east. Ganther’s Place is located in South Columbus off of Parson’s Avenue. Our area boundaries are East of Parsons Avenue to Heyl Avenue, including Whittier Street, Reinhard Avenue and Siebert Street.
