See below from Frankford Garden Club President Janet Bernstein about their tour & meeting next Tuesday, July 26th!
Hello Frankford Garden Club Members,
Next Tuesday, July 26, is our Tour and Meeting day!
We are starting out at the Historical Society of Frankford, at 1507 Orthodox Street at 6:30PM
The HSF Gardeners will tell us about the Garden, and the plants - the building will be open if you want to have a peek at small exhibit on the first floor -
Garden Club Members please note - we will be meeting again at the Historical Society for a longer visit probably in September for a talk about Overington Park, and to see archival materials
Next will be Marie Zimmerman's house at 5747 Tackawanna Street, by about 7pm, then on to -
Joan Long's house at 6002 Keystone Street (note - Joan has small & adorable dogs) by 7:15 if possible!
End up at Janet Bernstein's 6946 Jackson Street & Jim Andel's at 6948 Jackson Street
Please bring a bite to eat or a bit to drink if you can, and bring your appetite and good cheer! Guests are welcome.
There will be Irises (blue bearded and frilly lavender) from Mary Ellen Post and Janet B's gardens for Members and guests to take home!
There will also be another Tour happening earlier in the Day - David Hewitt of the Academy of Natural Sciences will be getting a tour of some of the places in Frankford where the actual landscape is at least partially the same as it was over 150 years ago-
David and friends will meet Janet Bernstein and any others who are interested, at 4:30pm at the Unity/Waln Meeting House on Tuesday, July 26th.
Unity and Waln Streets come together just west of Tackawanna Street and just East of Paul Street (the Frankford Post Office is at the corner of Unity and Paul Streets)
We will then stop at some other spots as time allows (possible sites include Campbell AME Church, Worrell Cartway, The Frankford Presbyterian Church, and Womrath Park)
We will end up at the Historical Society at 6:30PM, in time for the Garden Club Tour
