Berea Garden Tour

The Berea Arts Council is sponsoring its first garden tour, featuring the gardens of eight Bereans. The tour will take place on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. All the gardens are within walking distance — the loop is 1.8 miles long and walking and cycling are encouraged.

Gardens featured include an Oriental-themed back yard with a fish pond, grasses, perennials and edibles; gardens filled with flowers collected from friends and neighbors; a small cottage garden; bamboo in garden and landscape design; a garden with plants for paper and basket making; old fashioned gardens; and gardens with unusual plants. Featured gardeners include Xenia Culbertson, Katie Heckman, Doug and Nancy Hindman, Gin Petty, Barbara Prairie, David Saladino, Don Schultz and Mary Startzman.

For more information, contact the Berea Arts Council at 985-9317 or check out www.bereaartscouncil.org. Tickets may be purchased at the Berea Arts Council, located at 116 Main St. in Berea in advance and at all gardens the day of the tour. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 on the day of the tour. Tickets also may be purchased at the Berea Arts Council’s booth at Get Healthy Berea on June 6.

The tour is sponsored by Drs. Mary Oldfield, Ed Brents, Bruce Combest, Larry Daugherty, William Morgan, Daksha Parikh and Charles Parsons in memory of Andrea Wong, daughter of friend and colleague of Dr. Paul Wong.

  • Dr.-Jack-Rutherford.jpg Is MSG (monosodium glutamate) harmful?

    Monsodium gluatamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer often added to Chinese food, soups, processed meats and canned vegetables. The use of MSG remains controversial despite a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) statement that it is safe. Because of this, the FDA requires that whenever MSG is added, that it be listed on the label.

  • Don-McNay-.jpg Common-sense job hunting

     I spent a day with a high-powered and high-profile friend who mentioned that he has more than 700 people a year ask him to help get a new  job.
    He’s not in the employment business, but is super well connected.  
    Every now and then, he gets the right person to the right job.

  • Anthony-Phelps-c.jpg It’s a love thing

    “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.” — Romans 8:35-39

  • Brandon-Sears-c.jpg Managing the calving season

    Providing sound management during the calving season can mean more live calves.
    Excessive losses can mean the difference between a year’s profit or loss for a beef producer.
    It is important to have a short calving period to allow frequent observation and assistance if needed.

  • Frank-food-dude-mug-c.jpg Spinach: It’s not just for Popeye anymore

    A spinach-loving reader recently approached me to request a column on things to do with her favorite vegetable.
    “Favorite vegetable?” You may ask, and rightly so.
    When many of us were growing up …and we’re talking Baby Boomers here, the only spinach product known to us was the stuff that came in a can, and it was, in a word, horrible!

    Topping damages hundreds of trees each year in Kentucky.
    Many people are unaware of the detrimental effects of this practice.
    Topping involves the drastic removal or cutting back of large branches in mature trees leaving stubs.

  • 01.26-WACO-Cain-pic.jpg Preschool screenings and birthday surprises

    Hi!
    ... and the wind blew and blew. Perhaps this is the windy season!
    Where is the snow? Students are starting to do snow dances, hoping they can coax enough snow to fall so they can make a proper snowman.
    (I'm sure they hope it will fall on a weekend so they won’t have to miss school! lol)
