2017 Tour of the Back Mountain Gardens

 The Back Mountain Bloomers Garden Club held its eighth biennial Tour of Back Mountain Gardens and raised close to $20,000 for the Anthracite Scenic Trails Association (ASTA), an organization dedicated to developing and maintaining the Back Mountain Trail. The Trailhead at the new ‘Mile 7’ area off Dorchester Drive, Dallas, will be dedicated to the Back Mountain Bloomers Garden Club, and a bench to honor them will be placed at the Trailhead to acknowledge approximately $90,000 the Bloomers have raised from the eight garden tours.  ‘Mile 7’ will be called the Judith and David Rimple Loop Trail in honor of their founding of ASTA and longtime membership in the Back Mountain Bloomers Garden Club.

2019 Tour of the Back Mountain Gardens

  During the 9th biennial Tour of Back Mountain Gardens, six amazing private gardens were featured along with the Judith and David Rimple Loop Trail and Back Mountain Bloomers Trailhead located behind the Dallas Township Municipal Building on Lt. Michael Cleary Drive in Dallas Township. Nearly 400 visitors attended the event. Many thanks to our sponsors for their most generous support in helping make this event an overwhelming success. Also, many thanks to the presenters at each garden for their time and expertise in providing valuable information. And to our numerous volunteers who without their time and effort this Garden Tour would not take place, words cannot express the immense gratitude that is felt.  


 The Back Mountain Bloomers Garden Club presented a check for $15,000 to ASTA (Anthracite Scenic Trails Association), an organization dedicated to developing and maintaining the Back Mountain Trail. To date, the Bloomers have raised over $105,000 from the garden tours to support the efforts of ASTA.
