Stop and smell the roses (and the lavender, and …)

Great news for garden lovers — organizers tell us tickets are still left for this weekend’s West Seattle Garden Tour. At your leisure, as long as it’s between 9 am and 5 pm Sunday, you will get to go gawk at “an eclectic mix of eight residential gardens” and hear from guest lecturer Marianne Binetti. You can even buy tickets online if you do it by tomorrow, or you can get tix in person up through tour day at a variety of locations including ArtsWest, West Seattle Nursery, Capers, True Value, and Metro Market.

The Seattle Chinese Garden at South Seattle Community College is also a phenomenal place for garden lovers. Their guided tours are free!

The money you pay for a ticket goes to various WS causes, such as Arts West and the food bank. The WS Garden Tour staff is completely volunteer.

I am the immediate past Chair for the WS Garden Tour, our group is a registered 501c3 non-profit philanthropic organization. Funds raised by the tour are used to pay for printing our posters, ticketbooks, etc. and other operational costs. All profit then goes to selected horticulturally-related projects/non-profits/gardens and to ArtsWest for the betterment of our community. Ticket purchases directly positively impact our community–both by bringing another garden tour and by funding important projects in our neighborhoods! Go ahead–buy two and we’ll see you Sunday!

Sorry, comment time is over.
