Tour stops include: Grammes-Brown House - 172 Jefferson Street Behind the Tiffin Historic Trust’s Victorian Grammes-Brown House is an informal, cottage garden tended entirely by volunteers. There is an ancient pear tree as well as many varieties of shrubs, perennials and even small herb and vegetable gardens. It is easy to imagine a time when gardens were a place of solace, relaxation, and charm. Herb and Paula Crum - 176 Jefferson Street In a relatively small area, Herb and Paula Crum have designed and created a garden brimming over with flowers, blue accents, beautiful fences and walkways, water and rock features, a fairy garden, urns with a wonderful and stunning array of unique flowers, shrubs, and more! Herb has taken the time to hand brush the wrought iron fence and Paula has added her own stained glass and other creations.
