Ron and Bev Noble have created their own little piece of heaven in Dalton Gardens, Idaho. On their one-acre property, they have a large vegetable garden, fruit trees, colorful flower beds, a water feature and a shade garden – all within a peaceful, parklike setting. Next Sunday, you will have the opportunity to tour their garden, located at 7535 Mt. Carroll St., and five others during the Coeur d’Alene Garden Club’s 14th annual garden tour. Both of the Nobles grew up helping with family gardens, so they’ve had gardening in their blood from an early age/Susan Mulvihill, SR. More here.
