Put on Those Garden Clogs and Join the SPU Queen Anne Garden Tour

ON SATURDAY, MAY 31, Seattle Pacific University kicks off a full day of gardening inspiration at the inaugural SPU Queen Anne Garden Tour.

While participants linger over coffee and muffins, Seattle Post-Intelligencer garden columnist and horticulture expert Marianne Binetti will begin the day with the lecture, “Shortcuts to a Show Garden.” SPU’s head gardener, Jeff Daley, will follow with a tour of the University’s award-winning landscapes, perennial borders, ornamental grass garden and butterfly garden. In the afternoon, participants have the rare chance to explore five select residential gardens on Queen Anne Hill — while enjoying performances by student musicians.

Tickets are $12 per person and can be ordered by calling 206/281-2100. After May 1, tickets will be available at Ravenna Gardens (Queen Anne and University Village stores) and at Fremont Gardens.
