Take a leisurely stroll through seven private gardens featured on Skagit Symphony’s 2022 Garden of Note Tour. The delightful self-guided tour Sunday, June 26, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. presents the Pleasant Ridge home-garden of Christianson’s Nursery owners John and Toni Christianson, and six Fidalgo Island treasures.

The Anacortes tour includes a drought resistant pollinator garden, an impressive art-filled Cap Sante garden overlooking Guemes Channel and four unique Old Town neighborhood gardens with touches of local history and beauty.

While garden visitors explore the beauty of the Pacific Northwest they will enjoy live music in each garden provided by Skagit Symphony orchestra members and other local musicians. Certified master gardeners will be available to answer questions in several gardens. Note that gardens feature sensitive landscapes with uneven terrain. Some gardens may not be suitable for strollers, walkers and wheelchairs. Service animals only, please.

Tickets are $30 and available by cash or check at Christianson’s Nursery, Sheely’s Floral & Gifts in Anacortes, Tri-Dee Arts in Mount Vernon and Old Thompson’s Greenhouse in Sedro-Woolley; or by credit card at BrownPaperTickets.com. The ticketbook includes a detailed map and suggested route, garden descriptions and a custom watercolor art depiction of each garden by local artist and Symphony enthusiast Margaret Horak. Proceeds support Skagit Symphony performances and the community music education program.

Skagit Symphony’s Garden Tour is the organization’s premier community fundraiser. Major sponsors are Quantum Construction, Windemere Real Estate and Banner Bank.
