Welcome to our 2023 Master Gardener Spring Garden Tour.

 

Six garden hosts invite you to come to North Davidson County to appreciate and learn from their special gardens.

Davidson County Master Gardener Volunteers will direct you down garden paths surrounded by mystical creatures, unique garden art, places for quiet meditation, and abundant crops of beautiful produce.  Sun and shade, woods and lawns, subdivision lots and acres of plants—all await your exploration.

Besides delivering a wonderful garden experience, our tour funds annual scholarships, maintenance of the Demonstration Garden and Vegetable Garden at the Agricultural Building, and service and education projects throughout Davidson County.

important information & policies to enhance your visit

A shoulder tote will accompany your ticket and will include a map, garden descriptions and other items. We suggest you read the descriptions before visiting or as you visit each garden. If you enjoy walking, you can park once and view the 3 Meadowlands gardens. The 2 gardens on Hebron Church Road are divided by a vacant field which you’ll use for parking. You can walk between the homes, or park near one and then drive to the other side of the field. The Teague home is by itself, but you’ll get plenty of walking as you enjoy the multiple gardens within the 2 1/2 acre landscape.

  1. The tour is held rain or shine.

  2. No refunds.

  3. Tickets should be shown at each garden.

  4. Public restrooms are available at Midway and Wallburg Town Parks and are indicated on the map. Please don’t impose on the garden hosts.

Don and SuEllen Puckett, 780 Hebron Church Rd, Winston-Salem

It looks ready for a photo shoot for "Better Homes & Gardens" magazine year-round with its more than 10 meticulously landscaped garden areas. It's a sight to behold and makes motorists slow down for a better view.

Mike and Debbie Davis, 656 Hebron Church Rd, Winston-Salem   

Look for the fairy and gnome gardens. The focal points in the backyard garden are a 25-year-old crepe myrtle that started as a twig and a 25-year-old ‘Pee Gee’ hydrangea. Most of the yard art was created by the owners.     

Brenda Jurney, 196 Red Hawk Lane, Winston-Salem 

‘Lollipop’ verbenas greet visitors. Look for the rock wall with hydrangeas, Russian sage, ornamental grass, and a weeping cherry tree. At the porch are small laurels, a holly surrounded by Japanese yews, and a weeping Japanese maple. An herb bed is mixed in with the ornamentals. The backyard shade gardens offer even more gems.

Timothy and Adrienne King, 213 Barclays Drive, Winston-Salem

They decided to transform their plain yard into a gardening showcase. They added hibiscus, a Japanese maple and perennials in the front yard. Raised bed gardens in the back provide a wide variety of delicious produce. A perennial garden in the backyard was created to attract more bees to pollinate their vegetables.

Tim and Nancy Boehm, 1463 Meadowlands Drive, Winston-Salem   

Gently mulched hills of varying elevations curve throughout the Bohems' landscape design. A pebbled walking path meanders through the trees in a park-like setting. Varying degrees of outdoor decking offer many views of the Japanese hinoki cypress, Carolina Moonlight false indigo and varieties of hosta, along with seasonal flower beds.

Jerold and Sandra Teague, 148 Archie Yokeley Rd., Winston-Salem   

The Teagues have spent 50 years creating their gardens. Look for ‘Chocolate’ calla lilies, large eucalyptus and an ‘Empress of China’ dogwood in the Prayer Garden. Take in all the fairies, gnomes, frogs and butterfly garden art and many architectural pieces, such as a log cabin that houses the family's history. The gardens contain 250 azaleas, including some that bloom three times a year, plus deciduous azaleas.
