Several club members visited Clara Rankin's former garden at the corner of Chagrin River Road and Shaker Boulevard in August. The garden was designed by Ellen Biddle Shipman, a well-known landscape architect, who described her plantings as if she "were painting pictures as an artist."
The Shaker Lakes Garden Club is holding a reciprocal Visiting Gardens Tour for the Allegheny Garden Club on Wednesday, June 6, 2018. We are opening the tour to our SLGC members on a first come, first served basis. If you have not seen these magnificent gardens, you are in for a treat!

Walking Tour of Beaver Marsh Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Trekkers are sure to delight in Beaver Marsh, just north of the Ira Trailhead, where ingenious local beavers have dammed waterways with mud and sticks and can often be spotted mid-evening gearing up for more work on their wetlands projects.
We are most grateful for this unique opportunity to visit these special gardens on June 9, 2016. Please join us and make a day of it! Organize a carpool, enjoy a spot of lunch at Sara’s Place (reserve ahead of time), and come prepared for the weather. Guests are welcome!
