CHESTER SPRINGS (June 29) - State Senator Andy Dinniman recently joined organizers to announce that the 2010 Brandywine Valley Water Garden Tour will be held on Saturday, July 31 and Sunday, August 1.
Now in its seventh year, the event offers an opportunity to visit the homes of local residents and neighbors who have created beautiful waterscapes in their backyards. The tour benefits the Chester County Food Bank, and nonperishable items and canned goods will be collected for the bank.
“The Brandywine Valley Water Garden Tour is a great event that supports a great cause,” Dinniman said. “I want to thank all of the volunteers and residents who have opened up their homes to share their picturesque ponds, winding streams and lush gardens with us.”
The self-guided, two-day tour runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 31 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, August 1. Tickets are now on sale for $20 at www.brandywinepondtour.com. Ages 17 and under are admitted free with the donation of a canned good.

You can plan your own route and visit as many of the stops as you want over two days,” Dinniman said. “It’s also a great way to help our neighbors in need by supporting the Chester County Food Bank. I hope to see you there."
