Newport News-Times: Gardeners gear up for annual tour:
Once again gardeners are preparing to display their unique gardens to guests as part of the Yachats Community Health Clinic's 6th annual Yachats Coastal Garden Tour.
Next-door neighbors Robin and Chad Link and Sue May and Butch Spakes have similar hillside lots with ocean views, but their gardens reflect quite different visions. Chad and Robin's steep wooded lot evolved from blackberries to cotoneaster, ceanothis and rhodies, and finally included a unique fountain/pond created by a local artist. Sue and Butch, on the other hand, have a random collection of trees, shrubs and perennials. Arbors decked with kiwi, honeysuckle and wisteria create a lovely garden entrance. The two couples have jointly developed the terraced garden between their houses.
The Garden Tour will take place Sunday, July 16. Tour times are 9 a.m., 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. Bus service to the gardens will be provided by Lincoln County Transit and will leave from the Yachats Commons parking lot. Tickets will be available on June 12, for $15, at Raindogs, Toad Hall and Bank of the West in Yachats, Oregon Coast Garden Center and Waldport Video in Waldport, Bonjour (Florence) and the Newport Performing Arts Center.
