Robert W. Rowe Public Library District

Hollyhocks, Lupins, Forget me Not’s
Phlox and Potatoes, Hosta’s and Carrots
Pergola’s and ponds, arbors and gnomes
Abundant gardens in Sheridan homes.

Inspirations to copy, seeds to share
Walk in the woods, poison ivy beware
God’s beauty tamed by mankind
Each garden has Paradise in mind.

Honeysuckle climbs the trellis fence
Floribunda abounds, fauna in residence
Bird baths, bird feeders, dream catchers
Each gives joy to the watchers.

Starting from Sheridan of we go
Map in hand, eyes aglow
Nature bedecked in splendour
As we take the Garden Tour.

Artistic creations to review
Treasures hidden from human view
Searching eyes, questions galore
The Garden Walk to explore.

What is this, what is that?
Friendly gardeners enjoy the chat
Compost heaps, fragrant manure
All adds to the sweet odure.

Wild flowers in abundance
In soft breezes do dance
Vegetables grown to sustain
Fruit trees pruned to maintain.

Journey’s end now in sight
Afternoon Teas to delight
Crafts to see, skills to share
Amidst this horticultural fayre

Baskets filled, minds on fire
Homeward bound with renewed desire
Much to ponder, much to sow
To see how our gardens grow.
