The Taylorville Kiwanis Club heard about this weekend's Taylorville Garden Walk, during their Tuesday luncheon at the Taylorville Memorial Hospital auditorium.

Carol Alexander (left) told the club that the Taylorville Garden Walk was first launched in 2006, ran for several years, ended, and then was revived by the University of Illinois Extension Master Gardeners in Christian County.

Alexander said this year's walk is this Saturday from 9 til 2, and features some prominent gardens in Taylorville. She added that attendees will be some spectacular gardens and trees at the homes of several residents, including one that has Lake Taylorville bordering their property on 3 sides.

Incoming Kiwanis president Martin Vota (right) led the meeting in the absence of president 

Will Perkins.

The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.  Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Memorial Hospital auditorium.  For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
