“This is definitely the year to celebrate our<br />

gardens, yards, patios, and decks and all the<br />

different ways that outdoor spaces enhance<br />

our daily lives,” says Jane Baldwin, co-chairperson<br />

of the <strong>2021</strong> Bexley House & Garden<br />

Tour.<br />

With Covid precautions in mind, the<br />

Bexley Women’s Club has decided to focus<br />

their annual tour on open-air venues.<br />

This year’s tour will feature some of the<br />

best outdoor living spaces in Bexley including<br />

nine residential spaces, the two Bexley<br />

Community Gardens, and the winner of<br />

Bexley’s “Love Your Alley” contest.<br />

With north and south locations, the<br />

Community Gardens provide Bexley residents,<br />

as well as neighboring communities,<br />

a place to garden. The gardens are managed<br />

by volunteer community gardeners, currently<br />

led by Jeff and Maggie Harriman.<br />

The Bexley House & Garden Tour is the<br />

primary fundraising event for Bexley<br />

Women’s Club, which has awarded<br />

more than 900 scholarships totaling over<br />

$550,000 to students in the Bexley area.<br />

Both the community’s north and south gardens<br />

will be open during the tour.<br />

New master gardeners set posts for a trellis<br />

in one of the two Victory Gardens.<br />

The Bexley Community Gardens have contributed<br />

produce to area non-profit organizations, starting<br />

with 75 pounds in 2011 increasing to 1,250<br />

pounds in 2020.<br />
