Suggested Garden Tour(s)

Wichita does a two weekend Garden Tour every June: http://www.kansas.com/living/home-garden/story/823325.html

I suggest we consider an Emporia wide (city) garden tour and also a regional or county tour in a similar fashion as the Wichita tours. This would be another promotional for local food raising gardens, and consider awards like the "best lawn" signs that used to dot smaller cities over the years.

With or without awards, as a gardener, I always enjoy seeing what someone else is doing in their garden, it gives me ideas, and ideas are shared, friendships kindled or re-kindled on common ground, and community "built."
