Plunkett, Linda. "The 18th Annual Old Louisville Hidden Treasures Garden Tour." Old Louisville Journal 33.6 (2011): 8. Web. 19 Jun 2011. http://www.oldlouisville.org/OLJ/June2011Journal.pdf.
It is almost time for the Annual Old Louisville Hidden Treasures Garden Tour which will take place this year July 9th and 10th. This article is just a basic summary of the events agenda; refreshments, silent auction, and plant sale will start the beginning of the tour at The Conrad-Caldwell House. DuPont Mansion will host Art in the Garden where local artists come to create and show their work. Kling Center will also be having an ice cream social in the middle of the tour serving almost as an intermission to the tour. There will be a Garden Tour Preview Gala benefit also hosted at the Conrad-Caldwell House on the 8th as the kick off before the tour. More background information about the garden tour is available its website http://www.oldlouisvillegardentour.com/
Linda Plunkett is the editor of The Old Louisville Journal; all article contributions are sent to Ms. Plunkett and are subject to approval. The actual know writer of this entry is unknown. Presumably I would say the Second Street Neighborhood Association released this information.
In the article June is referred to as “bustin’ out all over” due to the substantial amount of rain Louisville has gotten, the sponsors of the event state that rain or shine the tour will still take place. This event means a lot to many people and a great deal of planning goes into making everything come together. Most of these historic houses have advanced booking up to a year, even longer. Rescheduling in most cases isn't possible so because of this there are no rain dates and refunds are not available.
Articles such as this one really shows the social action that happens around the Old Louisville area, more importantly for "my place" this article shows that the Conrad-Caldwell House is a center point to the event. I would like to dig a little deeper into the garden tour and ask a few questions about the overall planning that goes into this event. I would also like to learn more specifically about the Conrad-Caldwell House gardens. I believe a great way to gain this information is to just take the tour, or if there is time restraints get in contact with the neighborhood association.
