have been passed on to the
younger generation who love
visiting the Neil's garden for
family gatherings. Of course,
the couple did install a zip line
for the youngsters to allow
them to fly over the entire gar-
den which proved an irre-
sistible attraction.
The couple will join four
other spectacular home gar-
dens on the Northville Garden
Club 27th Annual Garden Walk.
The tour this year will take
place from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.
on Wednesday, July 14, and will
feature five private gardens
including the Neil's with a
bonus “Mini Walk” featuring
six patio gardens. Advance
tickets are now on sale and are
priced at $12. Tickets can be
purchased at Gardenviews, 117
