Sixth Annual Huber Ridge Blooms Garden Show and Contest

Seven Huber Ridge residents will showcase their gardens for the public Sunday, July 14, from 1-5 p.m.  Visitors will see hand-picked rock accents, gorgeous ponds, vintage garden art, park-like settings, and blooms everywhere.  The tour takes place in the Huber Ridge Area neighborhood and is free.
Homeowners are: 


Stephen and Carole Gast, 6325 Arnett Road;
Trisha and Mark Miller, 3479 Saigon Drive;

John and Karen Boley, 3815 Balboa Place;
Evelyn Gardner, 3693 Managua Drive;
Brenda and Joseph Kakabar, 5664 Bashaw Drive (front yard only);
Fred and Mary Moore, 5706 Bashaw Drive; and
Tom and Jan Heichel, 5576 Santiago Drive.
Those touring the gardens are also encouraged to visit the newly landscaped Ridgewood Park in the 5400 block of Buenos Aires Boulevard as well as the Blendon Township Community Garden, located behind 6350 Hempstead Road (Blendon Township Complex).

The community garden has grown significantly as more gardeners have taken advantage of it.  Beautiful benches have been installed for gardeners to enjoy.  Benches were hand-made by Tom Heichel, Huber Ridge resident and former Blendon Township Chief of Police.

The changes at Ridgewood Park include newly planted trees, revamped landscaping, repaving, and the addition of a beautiful freestanding gazebo.
