The Oregon State University Extension Service is hosting garden tours in several locations this summer. Take advantage of them and tour gardens and gain inspiration for your next garden makeover or garden project.

Lebanon Garden Tour, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Saturday, June 21, $20 cost. Tour a range of garden styles — from wedding-worthy to edible food bonanza — plus a rainwater-irrigated landscape and one yard with five different gardens. This will be primarily a walking tour so attendees are encouraged to park at Ralston Park, where there will be maps available with a recommended walking guide. People can take any route they want, and they can also drive to these gardens if they like. Along with the map, there will be signage for all gardens. This year there are 7 gardens, plus 2 bonus gardens (the two bonus gardens are not within walking distance). The tour starts at Ralston Park Historical Rose Garden, 925 S. Park St. in Lebanon.
