THE 2012 COLUMBUS GARDEN TOUR features six lakeside garden experiences at Harrison and Tipton Lakes, including:
- Wandering a pebbled path through a beautiful garden that skirts three sides of Harrison Lake, featuring rocks and boulders, ornamental grasses, perennials, and container gardens full of herbs and vegetables.
- Touring Chef Daniel Orr’s vegetable garden and learning about the organic gardening he uses to produce much
- of the food served in his restaurants.
- Walking along two lakeside sun gardens on the canal in the stunning Turtle Bay area of Tipton Lakes.
- Seeing two contrasting garden types on one street; the one a woodland shade garden set in a lakeside conifer forest showcasing an outstanding collection of “hostas of the year” and the other a cozy sun garden nestled on a beautiful inlet with a magnificent 30’ Weeping Norway Spruce as a backdrop.
