An Urbandale resident’s interest in creating overwhelming beauty in small spaces landed his yard among the featured stops on the eighth annual Extraordinary Gardens by Ordinary People tour set for Saturday.

The event includes gardens in Des Moines, West Des Moines, Urbandale and Clive. Each site was designed by a Polk County Master Gardener.

“My backyard has been in constant transformation since we moved here in 1979. I add things, move plants if they aren’t doing well and play with the landscaping. One of the main features of my yard is the retaining wall I added,” said King.

The two dispel the belief that good fences make good neighbors. Friends since Borchardt moved to the neighborhood in the 1980s, the two share plants and ideas, and they collaborate on landscaping to be sure it complements the other’s yard.

Krogulski’s yard boasts a garden filled with nearly 125 hosta varieties. Adding to the beauty is a rock-water feature and a dry stream bed that creates a natural divider between the two gardens.

For Borchardt, who volunteers for the Urbandale Demonstration Garden, the thrill of gardening comes from its maintenance.

“I hope people take away from our two gardens that gardening is enjoyable, that it should be an addition to your life and not a chore. For me, it is my little bit of reverie; it’s a stress relief to go out and pull weeds,” Borchardt said.

The Balsamic Total Wellness experience begins with your choice of a gentle Swedish or revitalizing deep tissue massage to promote stress relief and muscle renewal and continues with an invigorating Vinotherapy body treatment. This unique therapy, created in France over a decade ago, has made its way across the Atlantic Ocean to become one of the leading spa trends in North America. The concentration of European grapes, blueberries and balsamic vinegar detoxify and rejuvenate the body. As the body regenerates and takes in this Mediterranean marinade, guests will enjoy a hydrating express facial. The day of pampering concludes by relaxing on the beach in a private palapa or alongside the Hilton’s dramatic infinity pool, where guests will enjoy complimentary amenities including refreshing frozen-flavored ice treats and fresh fruit kabobs.
