The yards selected for this year's Ogden Area Garden Tour are rich in color and history. Nine gardens will be open on Ogden's East Bench, many surrounding historical homes with beautiful architecture. Several of the gardens retain the style of their original owners; others feature new landscaping with whimsical and fresh ideas.

All proceeds benefit the Ogden Nature Center.

It's always time to leave the worries of work behind at Ruando Spa.

"The clock says '5 p.m.' on every hour," said Alison Calton.

Ruando Spa, built by Ogden's Eccles, Rich and Browning families, is a private retreat with a pool, set in a secluded hollow. A glimpse of this little slice of heaven can be had during the Ogden Area Garden Tour.

The tour, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, is a rare opportunity to see nine gardens in Ogden's East Bench area.
