Kim Storck is the first one on her block to have a chicken coop and she can’t wait to show it off.

Storck has one of eight themed stops on this year’s Schumacher Place Garden and Art Tour, to be held from 4 to 8 p.m. Aug. 25.

It will be a modest poultry domicile, holding three to four birds – and no roosters – in the back yard of her Ebner Road residence, which also includes a sustainable urban garden.

“I grew up on a farm so having chickens, fresh eggs and those kinds of things feels natural to me,” she said.

Tickets for the event are $5 each and are available online at www.schumacherplace.org, from Village Coney, 418 E. Whittier St.; or after 3:30 p.m. the day of the event at 340 Forest St., at the corner of Ebner and Forest streets.

The Schumacher Place Civic Association, representing the neighborhood directly east of German Village, held its first garden and art tour one year ago in lieu of its regular annual home and garden tour.

“People enjoyed last year’s garden and art event so much that we decided to hold it again this year rather than return to our traditional home and garden tour,” said Jeanne Tranter, event chairwoman.

“They’ll discover many new artists, see different gardens – and experience Schumacher Place in a new way,” she said.

This year’s tour features 30 artists, whose exhibits include everything from fox statues to jewelry to watercolors.

Other artists will exhibit their works on porches along the tour route.

“This year’s themes reflect the richness of Schumacher Place itself,” Tranter said. “We move from a sustainable garden, with hens scratching around, to a lush garden with a waterfall cascading over rocks,” Tranter said. “The art is equally diverse.

There also is a post-tour party, which includes music from local guitar player Brian Connor, dinner and a competition with prizes.

Post-tour party tickets are $25 per person and $20 for members of the Schumacher Place Civic Association.
