Shaler Great Local Gardens Tour
Grows in its 12th Year
Patrons of the Shaler Great Local Gardens Tour enjoyed a
day of sunshine and five spectacular gardens on Sunday, June
30. The tour, sponsored by the Shaler Garden Club, began at
the enchanting garden of Sharon McAlister, with its colorful
perennials, annuals and tumbling waterfalls, continued to
the lovely hillside garden of Gary and Diane Ireland and
followed to the sweeping flowerbeds of Joe and Sharon
Elinich. It then led patrons to the expansive gated gardens of
Alex and Sue Colazzi, finishing with the sprawling wooded
backyard of Tom and Sue Barth, featuring a koi pond with
waterfalls and relaxing gazebo. This 2019 tour sold a record-
breaking number of tickets, and proceeds benefited the
Shaler North Hills Library. If you missed this year’s tour,
don’t lament— just be sure to mark your calendar for next
year’s tour on June 28, 2020! For more information, visit
