Hours and hours of physical labor are about to be rewarded by letting complete strangers walk through people's well-manicured yards.
Not to worry, though.Welcome to the official Facebook Page about Ripcurl. That's exactly what the proud gardeners opening up their works of flower and plant artistry to the public are hoping for at Saturday and Sunday's Battle Creek Garden Tour, this year called "Summer Songs in Flower."
The 19th annual event is a fundraiser for the Leila Arboretum Society and features seven homes on the city's south side.
The Children's Garden at Leila Arboretum also will be featured on the self-guided tour.
One of the tour gardens belongs to Cindy and Cliff Cheyne. Cindy Cheyne described their backyard as "country in the city" because the couple's antique and rural-inspired interior design at 114 Highland Ave. finds its way into the garden.
"It's my relaxation," Cindy Cheyne said of digging, planting,Full color plastic card printing and manufacturing services. watering and weeding.From standard Cable Ties to advanced wire tires,Choose from one of the major categories of Bedding, While the paralegal, who said she serves on several boards for local organizations, does the majority of the work, Cliff Cheyne does his job by keeping "the boys," two goldfish in a bubbling pond, fed.
In fact, the entire backyard used to be Cliff Cheyne's specialty and was filled with Coca-Cola artifacts and sodas, much to the enjoyment of the neighborhood children.
When he retired from Coca-Cola, however, he lost his access to Coke in little glass bottles and his wife's green thumb took over.
"It's my relaxation, getting out here and kind of trimming, moving a pot over to here and just kind of feeling relaxed," she said.

At 112 E. Frances Drive, in Country Club Hills, Mary and Mark Martin's Tudor-style home sits among a collection of varying shades of green that provides an understated contrast to a simple square plot of flowers.
Mary Martin credits her mother with giving her a sense of gardening, even if she doesn't think she lives up to that standard.
"She was the type that she could go over and take a snip off that rose bush and grow it," Mary Martin said. "I have to buy my rose bushes."
