Ruth Bane and Myra Baldwin started the first annual Historic Centerville Home and Garden Tour in 2010. Ruth and Myra plan to do this annually as long as they can find worthy gardens, kitchens, and homes. Their goal is to find those property owners who have done the yard work themselves. Creativity is important and as long as the property is in Wayne County – it qualifies.
This year, one of the properties is on Potter Shop Road and the dry creek bed is well worth the drive to see. Diane Price went to farmers and asked if she could pick up rocks out of their fields for her project. She is a hard worker and her husband Jim works right along with her. She is always on the lookout for starts and will also share what she has in her yard if there is enough to dig up.
You will find that this year’s property owners probably have dirt under their fingernails, a smile, and a willingness to share their expertise with all who visit. The $5 ticket will get you a day of entertainment and fellowship that you will not soon forget.
Historic Centerville will be hosting its second annual Home and Garden Tour on Saturday, July 9, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, July 10, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets may be bought for $5 on the day of the tour at the Centerville Farmer’s Market for $5 each.
