Hudson, Ohio, May 19, 2014 (McKenzieNewsService.com) – The 67th Annual Hudson Home & Garden Tour will take place June 12th – 13th, 2014. This annual event offers the opportunity to experience unique Hudson homes and beautiful gardens. Tour hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday.
The 2014 Tour will feature five distinctly different homes and three gardens, offering visitors an exciting blend of architectural history, modern day renovations and original decor as well as spectacular gardens full of ideas for your own backyard.
Tour stops this year include a backyard that is truly an outdoor destination with pool, bocce court, outdoor fireplace and spectacular pavilion with large screen TV all set in an outstanding terraced and manicured landscape.
Another special garden features a large and beautiful lake that provides the backdrop to a relatively new backyard garden created over the past nine years and demonstrates the homeowner’s passion for creating a private sunny retreat. Two quaint fairy gardens, a culinary herb garden, tropical plant filled deck pots and several hanging baskets of colorful annuals enhance this backyard garden’s appeal.
One of the five homes includes a beautiful Colonial that showcases rooms carefully curated through years of collecting and repurposing everyday items into unique lamps, furniture and displays, including a 1949 weighted vault door that now anchors the sunroom. An eclectic balancing act where family heirlooms sit comfortably by industrial work horses, the homeowners have achieved the right mixture of old and new to keep the decor both tasteful and youthful for this busy family of four.
The remaining stops on the Tour all are not to be missed homes and gardens, each with something sure to inspire your imagination.
Presale tickets for the tour are $20 and may be purchased by writing Hudson Garden Club, Ticket Chairman, 205 S. Main Street, Hudson, OH 44236, and including a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
