I
f you’re a gardener, Music in the Gardens
2017 is an excellent opportunity to feed
your passion. If you’re a non-gardener,
a day exploring seven private gardens may
make you wish you were, for gardening is a
labor of love.
“Music in the Gardens” is a fundraiser
for the Water Music Society. This is the
11th annual tour, offered one day each year.
The tour takes place 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. July
15.
“This is a wonderful chance to wander
through privately owned gardens on Wash-
ington’s Long Beach Peninsula,” said
Nancy Allen, who is co-chairing the event
with Darlene Houser. “From Chinook to
Oysterville, we have worked hard to
choose sites this year that are water-related.”
