Garden Tour 2021

After this past year, it will offer a welcome opportunity to safely visit a variety of stunning gardens on Vashon. To provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all, VCA is taking
measures to ensure that the 2021 tour meets or exceeds the Governor’s Covid19 safety guidelines. Therefore, we are limiting attendance and tickets will only be good for a single day.

We know this is a change from the past but it’s important that our staff and garden owners feel safe and that we ensure the safety of our visitors. With only 400 guests per day, there June 5-6 will be plenty of room at all our garden locations so guests can enjoy the experience and safely distance.

Masks will be required. Volunteer Garden Angels and VCA staff at each garden will be on hand to monitor safety and assist the flow of visitors. Our gracious hosts and garden owners this year include: Julie Speidel & Joseph Henke, Leslie McIntosh, Todd & Sylvie Currie, Bob & Betty Hawkins, and Anita & Kelly Robinson. In keeping with the original mission to celebrate the art of the garden, the tour will showcase the vision, mastery and joy of gardening at five sites across the island’s diverse ecosystem.

From the westside overlooking Colvos Passage to the heart of Burton and across to Maury Island’s Dockton neighborhood, this year promises a stunning array of eclectic gardens, Pacific Northwest landscape designs, an abundance of floral delight, and plenty of outdoor sculptural art and garden decor.
