TD Summer Reading
Club starting soon
The Huron County Library is once
again running the TD Summer
Reading Club, which has seen some
significant updates.
Run by Morgan Deitner and
Jessica Adams, the program will
rotate throughout local library
branches and encourage kids,
through its theme, to play.
“The theme this year is play,”
Deitner said. “That’s kind of the
general topic and then, during each
of the eight weeks, we’ll look at a
different kind of play.”
Deitner said that one week the
books and program will focus on
playing outside, the next, playing
inside, and another week will focus
on playing with animals.
“Each week will have a book that
will focus on that kind of playing,”
she said. “It will encourage [kids] to
enjoy some kind of play they may
not be familiar with.”
The program is also going to see
some digital integration with online
components added.
“Each kid will be given a web
access code,” Deitner said. “They
can then go on the website
[tdsummerreadingclub.ca] to track
their books, look up games, find
other books that are related to the
activities and we can give them
prizes based on participation and
them searching through the site and
trying to explore.”
The Blyth and Brussels Library
branches will be hosting the program
on Tuesdays from 1 to 2 p.m. and
2:30 to 3:30 p.m. respectively.
“If kids are interested in
registering, they can visit the
libraries,” Deitner said. “The
librarians there will have
registration sheets for them to fill
out and submit and then they just
have to show up.”
The program will run from June
29 to Aug. 21.

Gardens featured
in self-guided tour
This year there are three new
gardens added to the over 20 private
gardens in Huron and Perth that will
be open to the public all summer,
with the touring program beginning
in June.
The selection of gardens will be
open at various times throughout
June, July and August and complete
information of locations and times
are included in the colourful
brochure with map as well as posted
on the website at:
www.gardensofhuronperth.com
This is a rare opportunity to look
over fences and hedges at gardens
that are lovingly tended. Some are
located on the property of a business
and visitors can enjoy both new
ideas in landscaping and plant
choices while taking advantage of
the materials offered for sale.
The non-profit group fashioned its
idea after the Discover Rural
Gardens of Grey Bruce Counties.
They are always looking for more
gardeners to join them as it is a
ongoing project. Last year was their
first full season and it was a
wonderful success.
Some of the gardens featured are
the private gardens of the Purple
Rooster at RR 1, Gorrie, where you
will see an eclectic mix of sun and
shade, old and new shrubs and
perennials. Riverbend Gardens and
Nursery features nearly 1,000
varieties of hostas. Karen Redmond
in Auburn uses ornamental grasses
to create a double garden, one you
see from the street and a hidden one
in behind.
Vicky and Doug Culbert have
designed and created a monument
garden dedicated to surveyors’
monuments that have been collected
from all over Ontario and
displayed in a reflective shade
garden, surrounded by Explorer
roses.
The map may be picked up at
local tourism offices, your local
library branches in Huron County or
at The Citizen office in Blyth.
Horticultural societies all have
access to the maps which can also be
downloaded from the website
