Inspire others to give time, talents and treasure to this work. Above all, may this local affiliate continue to be a witness to your never-changing love, a firmer foundation than any other. It is for your glory and in your name we pray. Amen.

The Habitat Small Garden Tour is scheduled for Saturday, May
31 in the general Onancock area. But
before the specifics, a question. Is the
Habitat Small Garden Tour only about small gardens and are flowers abundant in
all gardens? Answer: No, it’s really about gardens of varying size, chosen for
their variety of features.
This year’s tour begins in Locustville and ends in Melfa on Dogwood Road. Centering the gardens in relative proximity is an effort to reduce time travelling and give participants more time to appreciate the gardens. The first garden includes both a meadow and a wooded area, where the owners can observe wildlife, and then, in a complete reversal, includes sculpted bonsai. A tiny, “in-town” garden in Onancock features a creative use of a tree stump. One garden has beautifully sculpted shrubs and houses a tilting gazebo. The owner will gladly offer advice on how to avoid a similar incidence in other gardens. All told, 5 homeowners will share their vision of an eye-pleasing garden with guests from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
