Malta Home Gardens will be organizing public tours in support of the growing efforts – Shaw Local
MALTA – Four private gardens in Malta will be organizing tours when they open to the public for Malta Open Garden Day from 9 am to 30 July at noon.
According to event posted on Facebook, Gardeners will be able to walk, ride or drive to the four home gardens and the Malta Community Garden, all of which are along a three mile route.
The Community Garden of Malta is located at 302 S. Second St. in Malta. Tickets for the July 30 event are $ 5 and can be purchased on the day of the event at the Malta Community Garden.
The five stops on the route, according to event post on social media, include a basic communal garden and a large kitchen garden with a small mini-garden. The event will include a lakeside garden and a flower garden using experimental planting, depending on location.
The fifth garden is the Community Garden of Malta, which is a place for the community to grow fresh produce that is easily available to the public when ripe. Last month, gardeners dropped radishes and peas at the Malta Township Public Library for a free pick-up.
The affair is a fundraiser for the Malta Seedling Project, an organization that hosts outdoor music events as well as the Fall Garland Festival. This year the annual celebration, complete with live music by Burn N ‘Bush and Vodka Boys, is scheduled from 2:30 to 11 pm on September 24 in Adams Street in Malta.
The Malta Garden Club will also benefit from the money raised during the open garden day.
