Daylilies in Bloom!

Last year, the Garden Club was fortunate to be invited to get a private tour of a gorgeous daylily garden. Hopefully we will have the opportunity again this year. More information as details develop.

Daylilies are reaching their peak right now, and they will be featured at two events in Monroe County:

- More than 250 varieties of daylilies will be on display and more than 50 varieties will be for sale at the Webster Arboretum Daylily Display and Sale. The sale runs from 8 a.m. to noon July 14 at the Webster Arboretum, 1700 Schlegel Road, Webster. Half the profits of the sale go to the arboretum. For more information, call (585) 370-4260.

- More than 650 varieties of daylilies can be seen during free tours of Enchanted Gardens, an American Hemerocallis Society official national display garden, this month and next. Hours of the tours, during which daylilies will also be sold, are 9 to 11 a.m. Saturdays and 6 to 8 p.m. Mondays at Enchanted Gardens, 1085 State Road, Penfield (between Jackson and Shoecraft roads). Tours at other times are also available by appointment. For more information or to schedule a tour outside of regular tour hours, call (585) 265-9635.
