Don’t forget this on Saturday – the 2014 Garden Tour…
WSU Master Gardeners, Garden Club and Horticultural Society members are gearing up to show guests three wonderful San Juan island gardens on display on Saturday June 14. Tickets at $15 per person ($6.00 for children 12 and under) are on sale now at Ace Hardware, Browne’s Garden Center, Griffin Bay Bookstore and Roche Harbor Store.
Plan to spend the day from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm visiting the gardens in your own time. Wear comfortable shoes, bring a notebook to record your favorite plants and be prepared to be amazed. One garden has been created with the assistance of a local garden company and two are owner-landscaped.
For weeks now the owners have been grooming their gardens in anticipation of your visit. They have volunteered their gardens and proceeds go not to them, but to the three coordinating groups who will spend the funds on local projects like the Demonstration Garden (where excess veggies are offered to the Food Bank), awards at the County Fair and contributing to beautifying the town.
We look forward to seeing you during the tour. More information is on the garden club’s website.
