Ciscoe Morris will be broadcasting from Town Center between 10 am and noon. You can be part of the live audience and ask him questions. After the broadcast, Ciscoe will pot a couple of planters that will be raffled off.
The Town Center will be transformed into a lush garden setting with vendors selling a huge variety of plants—native and specialty plants. Garden artists will have items to add whimsy and interest to your gardens.
It is a great time for gardeners.

ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I have attended and enjoyed many garden tours in Western WA over the years. Today we went to the Lake Forest Park Garden Tour which promised "six spectacular secret gardens." There were very few signs and we spent way more time hunting the homes than looking at the gardens. We never did find two of them. Also, two of the 4 we found were uneventful to say the least. We finally gave up and left the area with splitting headaches.
