Six local gardens in the Oakdale area will be open for touring on Saturday, Oct. 7.

The annual fundraising event planned by Oakdale Garden Club is the opportunity to tour six local gardens on Saturday, Oct. 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Ticket/booklets are $25.

The Oakdale Garden Club is a very active group with activities and projects for the community. Along with developing and managing the Community Garden near the Senior Center at the north end of the city, members also maintain downtown flower pots, the Cowboy Statue Garden, Veteran’s Garden in Fish Park, Blue Star Memorial & Native Garden at the post office, and the Peace Officer Memorial Garden at Valley View Park. Scholarships are awarded annually to graduating high school seniors furthering their education in plant related majors.

Tickets are available from any Garden Club member and locally at Ace Hardware, 1010 East F St., Oakdale, and at A Touche of Flowers, 822 West F, along with Morris Nursery, Westurf, and other nurseries in Ripon, Manteca, and Turlock.

Local businesses have generously supported the event with advertisements in the ticket booklet, donations for the raffle baskets and silent auction items.
