Photos: Scenes from the Secrets Gardens of Lake Forest Park

Annuals were a popular feature in all six gardens.

The Secret Gardens of Lake Forest Park market and garden tours took place on Saturday, June 15, 2019. With a garden market and six gardens with art and music, there was a lot to see.

Here is just a sampling.


Hostas of all sizes were a big hit.



A dry river bed was a stunning feature in the garden.


Jacinta Green, recently of Charleston, was dressed to match the lovely fresh cut roses on her first ever garden tour. She specializes in sewing her own clothes but works in the tech industry.


This garden bench is now the home of some sassy succulents.


The glamorous Friday night pre-party was a real treat for garden tour volunteers.


Fiery Barberry creates a summer splash of color alongside a garden entry. 


Art and artists were abundant, along with musicians and master gardeners. This floral canvas is by Lake Forest Park artist Debbie Tomassi.

Note the sign for the Mera'ki art show (see previous article)

If you missed the tour this year, you'll have another chance - in 12 months.
