A boulder walled entertainment area graces the back yard of the Steffen home with hydrangeas to add a softening background to the area.

Among the gardens to be visited on the Master Gardeners Garden Walk on Saturday, June 24, from noon to 4 p.m., will be at the home of Barry and Doreen Steffen, 590 Channing Way in Bellbrook. The rain date is scheduled for Sunday, June 25.
