Whimsical Iron gate at Designers Garden Tour 2013
Designers Garden Tour
Save the Date: June 17, 2017
Saturday from 10 am – 4 pm
This is my favorite event of the year. It’s not a typical garden tour where the focus is only on attractive plant material. Each landscape from the paths to patios, plant vignettes with art, unique edible gardens, rain gardens was planned. Expect to see unique use of space, dramatic layouts, small landscapes with surprisingly useful spaces, privacy screens and plantings, recycled materials used in new ways and much more. Fusions of modern landscape design, cottage garden and NW natural landscapes will be seen, admired, and shamelessly copied. Each year garden artists compete to have their art installed in the gardens for the tour. Some art will be available to purchase.
Take some great photos!! A vignette with the balance of color and proportion has been created for your viewing pleasure.
Love plants? You will see plants that are new to you or see familiar plants used in new and fun ways. There is a lot of opportunity for copying great ideas or simply appreciating landscapes that are so well integrated.
