GIG HARBOR GARDENS OPEN THIS WEEKEND


Beautiful Gig Harbor gardens will be celebrated the weekend of June 27 & 28th in honor of the annual Gig Harbor Garden Tour. The annual two-day event features private gardens, lectures and more on Saturday and Sunday. This year 6 private homes will be featured on the tour with garden themes including perennial, waterfront, historic and a farm gardens.

Expanded feature this year includes the drawing for the artist created Adirondack Chairs, created by nine local artists and on display at the gardens. Raffle tickets will be available at all the gardens and at many local businesses leading up to the weekend of the tour.

In the past 12 years the Gig Harbor Garden Tour has grown and become one of the regions best known tours – providing peeks into the private gardens of Gig Harbor residents.

The Gig Harbor Garden Tour is a tour for literacy, with proceeds benefiting the Peninsula Adult Basic Education Program at the Gig Harbor campus of Tacoma Community College. During the past decade $60K has been raised for local literacy efforts from the tour.

Tickets for the Gig Harbor Garden Tour go on sale in April. Learn more at http://www.gigharborgardentour.com/ .
