The Snohomish Garden Club Tour--July 28, 2013

The official annual Snohomish Garden Club Tour was Sunday, July 28 from noon-5:00 p.m.  It featured eight gardens in Snohomish, and they were all truly spectacular.  This event, open to the public, is the main fundraiser for our club each year.  Some of the proceeds go to create the hanging baskets that you see on the main street (First Avenue) in old historic downtown Snohomish.

"Gardens are not made by singing, 'Oh, how beautiful', and sitting in the shade."  --Rudyard Kipling

The following posts feature some of the homes and gardens we toured.

Here is the garden of Karen Guzak and Warner Blake, artists.  They live in a 100-year-old Victorian church, filled with modern and industrial art.  The gardens around the home are embellished with abstract angles and flowers, and a xerotropic garden of blue foliage plants has recently been added.
