— from Helen Huber for Orcas Island Garden Tour —
Five gardens invite you to explore a variety of special places on our beautiful Orcas Island. The gardens include: a whimsical garden tribute to childhood; a lovely pastoral garden tucked in the forest; a seaside rock sculpture garden; a moss and rock garden that commands a magnificent view and a delightful ornamental and veggie garden set in a picturesque valley.
Tickets $20 / for sale at Driftwood Nursery, Darvill’s Bookstore, Smith & Speed Mercantile, and Crow Valley Pottery.

This tour gives you the most bang for the buck, being the Garden Club’s one fund-raiser (among other things, to have money to pay fees to speakers who entertain you with their great horticultural knowledge–all are welcome at their meetings ). You will be privileged to view gardens on private property that you may never get a chance to see again. Carpe diem!
