The stops

•Holy Trinity Chapel. A former Episcopal Church, the little chapel is owned by the Whitman County Historical Society. Highlights include original leaded glass windows and a lych-gate entry into the churchyard.

•The garden of Ben and Judy Finch. The site of a number of weddings, the finch’s English garden features old roses, fragrant perennials and eye-catching garden ornaments.

•Tharp’s Thicket. The garden of Dave and Sharon Tharp includes a quaint plum thicket with paths that lead through the rooms made by arching plum branches.

•The garden of Don and Theresa Myott. The highlight of the Myott’s vegetable, fruit and flower garden is Don Myott’s collection of vintage signs. The collection is displayed on the side of the garden shed.

•The Cape Cod cottage of Loren and Mary Estes. Incorporating leaded glass panels, a sun room and an updated kitchen, the couple have transformed the house into a garden cottage.

• The home of Dale and Colleen Schoepflin. The Schoepflin home, built to take advantage of views of Kamiak Butte and the surrounding area, is built around an aviation theme. The home office is a “control tower,” and the hardwood floors in the foyer feature inlay in the shape of an airplane.

•The home of Marty and Barb Lenz. The unique octagonal house, decorated with souvenirs and artifacts gathered on their travels, features a water garden and gazebo.
