Seeding Our Future Garden Tour & Art Show June 25-26, 2010 I've yet to meet a gardener who doesn't possess a voyeuristic urge to peek over the garden gates to see if the grass really is greener and the flowers are cheerier on the other side. Yes, I'm talking about you. And me, too, for that matter. Say "garden tour" and I'm there, ready to talk to fellow gardeners and spark my imagination. And here's the perfect opportunity to do just that just: the Seeding Our Future Garden Tour & Art Show. We'll be supporting a great cause, The Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools, at the same time. Need more enticement? How about the teaser I've posted to the left? That's Old-fashioned Charmer, one of our 2010 gardens. Want more? Then check out the preview of the tour gardens (2009 tour gardens listed, 2010 information coming soon). But what is a garden without a little garden art? Whether it is the completing accessory or the grand focus, garden art adds to our gardens' ambiance and beauty. I'll be hanging out at the art show in between presentations on Friday and Saturday (check my presentation page for details). Please stop by and say hello! Please join us for this great event, a fundraiser for The Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools.
