Six residential gardens in Manteca will be showcased in the 2013 Manteca Garden Tour which will be held on Saturday, May 11, the day before Mother’s Day.The date makes this event a perfect Mother’s Day gift for mothers, grandmothers, and sisters who either have green thumbs, have a penchant for gardening, or are simply interested in enjoying a visual feast of lush and colorful private Edens.The tour is the club’s only fund-raiser during the year, with all proceeds going to the group’s many civic and beautification projects. Besides scholarship awards, the club donates trees to Manteca city parks as well as to the landscaping around the public library. Members also started, and continue to maintain, the Rose Memorial Garden in front of the Manteca Senior Center.
