Because both the AHS Regional Summer Meeting and the AHS National were going to be held in the Midwest, our club made a decision not to hold its usual tour of Summer Gardens. Instead, the club encouraged CVIDS members to open up their gardens during the bloom season for CVIDS members to tour on specific days in July to be decided by the garden owners. No fewer than eight gardens were made available on specific dates. On behalf of everyone who took advantage of these opportunities, I'd like to thank the gardens' owners for making this possible. They are:

Lynn & Sherry Moffit

Heather Harroun

Tom & Linda Jones

Gary Oster

Barbara McCreight

Ginger Preuss

Jackie Westhoff

Doug & Sara Kelley
