Nicole WalterGuestHere are three things in and around St. Louis that I'm genuinely excited about this month, and that you might want to get on your calendar too.
First up, the Lafayette Square Spring Home and Garden Tour, June 6th and 7th.
11 historic homes are opening their doors, plus private gardens, an antique and art fair, and this is the part that got me, vintage baseball games in Lafayette Square Park.
11 houses is a lot to deal with, so if you can swing it, give yourself both days.
Lafayette Square is one of the prettiest neighborhoods in the city to wander through anyway, even before you set foot inside any of the homes.
Second, the St. Louis Water Garden Society is hosting its annual Pondarama.
It's a self-guided tour of private water gardens and ponds across the region, June 27th and 28th from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Others are fully realized landscapes that homeowners have been building out for years.
If you've ever even thought about putting a pond in your backyard, this is the tour to take.
And third, for the practical gardeners in the audience, Seed St. Louis is partnering with the St. Louis County Library to host a free class on summer care of orchard trees, vines, and cane fruit.
Basically, how to keep your fruit plants healthy and productive through the hottest months.
They're running it three times: twice on June 8th at Oak Bend and Eureka Hill branches, and once more on June 25th at 4:00 PM at Bridgeton Trails.
