Should a plant with bright orange blossoms go behind a dark purple bush? Like a sculptor, a gar- dener will look for plants with interesting shapes. Like a photographer, a gardener considers the changing light during the day. Join us on Saturday, June 5, 10 am – 5 pm, for our first, self-guided tour of seven lovely outdoor living spaces and see the "artistry" created outside. Tickets ($20) may be purchased from the Arts Council, 111 S. Washing- ton St., Shelby, Mon. – Fri. 9am – 4pm, Saturday 10am – 2pm and on our website www.ccartscoun- cil.org. You can also purchase them at the in- dividual homes the day of the event (cash/check only). The Arts Council is partnering with the NC Ex- tension Master Gardener Volunteer Association to hold their Annual Plant Sale in the Arts Council parking area from 9am until 2pm, the same day. Master Gardener volun- teers will help you choose just the right plant for the right place! No ticket is re- quired for the plant sale. For more information on the plant sale, please con- tact Julie Flowers at 704- 482-4365. Also that day Paradise Garden Center, a spon- sor of the event, invites you to stop in to see their selection of indoor, out- door, annual, and peren- nial plants, many grown on site. While there, enjoy a slice of wood fired pizza in their outdoor kitchen from 11am – 2pm. Para- dise Garden Center is lo- cated at 460 Cherryville Rd Shelby, 704-480-1012 and is open 9am – 3pm. The homes on the tour include: Jim and Pat Parr 1322 Vista Drive Twelve years ago we moved from the Sha- wangunk Mountains in New York to Shelby. While we loved our new home in this wonderful southern climate, there were a number of issues that needed attention on our property—invasive plants, water flooding, too much lawn, lack of plant diversity, not enough birds and insects and a lack of knowledge on our part, to name a few. For the first two years we studied NC fauna and flora. Then for the past 10 years we have worked to create a sustainable native habitat. We are pleased that our property is now a Certified Native Plant Habitat. To make the prop- erty more self-sustainable we added trees, shrubs, a butterfly pollinator gar- den, vegetable and herb garden, shade garden and perennial flower beds throughout the property. While it has taken 12 years to create a diverse landscape around our home, it continues to be a joyful work-in-progress. The Burrow 849 West Marion Street Wes Westmoreland Ettie and A.V. Ham- rick, Sr. built The Burrow in 1928 on his father, Le- ander Hamrick's wooded property on West Mar- ion that was for many years known as Lover's Lane. The backyard at The Burrow reflects the Italian Renaissance-re- vival architecture of the house and was designed by the owner. The gar- dens are recognized as a Certified Wildlife Habitat, a Certified Butterfly Gar- den, and a Monarch Way- station. Parking will be limited, please park on the street to the West, or at the County Library a block to the East. Enter down the drive, and enjoy a glass of Baker Buffalo Creek wine, sponsored by Westmore- land Printers. Jim and Mary Esther Toole 514 W. Marion St. Jim and Mary Esther have spent over 40 years developing this one-acre plot for one of Shelby's two oldest wooden homes (circa 1852) which was passed down from Jim's Great Grandfather. This traditional Southern Gar- den contains hundreds of plants including Azalea, Camellia, Sasanqua, Tea Olive, Gardenia, Japa- nese Maple, Peony, Day- lily, Iris. It also contains Jim's extensive Hosta collection along with a very rare Camellia "Mount Hoku". Bill and Beth Cameron 3016 Bettis Rd., Grover Forty years have passed since we built our home in our patch of the woods. Situated one-mile south of Earl near the SC line, our land is former cotton fields now forested over. Digging up daffo- dils, day-lilies, shrubs, and trees over the years helped transform this red- clay land into gardens suited to our NC Foothills. You can hike to our creek cabin or ride a golf cart around as you explore our gardens. Bobbie Gibson 138 Columns Circle, Shelby Amazing what can happen in small areas. Originally, the condo- minium's side yard was steep and muddy, and the courtyard brick was falling apart. With the help of a landscaper we increased the courtyard space, added a raised bed planter and a small water feature. The back area is now accessible with rock stairs and pav- ers descending from the courtyard. We enjoy the outdoors on the refur- bished deck and screened underdeck. Accent lights make the once dark yard beautiful at night. Fred and Nancy Blackley 505 South Washington Street, Shelby The Blackley garden spreads across three ad- joining in-town properties and is the setting for the Blackley House ( 1927 ), Bostic House ( 1900 ) and Beam House ( 1895 ). Seven accessory build- ings, a special willow oak, chicken coop, vegetable garden, tiny frog pond, propagation nursery, tree house, unusual plants, quirky objects, and a re- laxed approach combine to define this 1.4-acre place.
