Touring NW Perennial Alliance Gardens

My hubby and I belong to the NW Perennial Alliance whose members open up their spectacular gardens throughout the spring, summer and early autumn. Each weekend we hop in our VW bus and are treated to private garden tours.

The gardens range from tiny city lots packed with color to sprawling estates with waterfalls, ponds and specimen trees. Such a treat!

Here’s a peek into some of them:

Garden of Camille (IG handle: @tahomaflora) and Dirk Paulsen

Garden of Whit and Mary Carhart (with our friend Deirdre and Alan)

Thank you to my friend, Deirdre Meldrum for capturing a photo of both me and my hubby without our normal gardening/forestry clothes and layers of dirt!

If you live the Seattle/Tacoma area, I highly recommend joining us: NW Perennial Alliance

When we agreed to open our garden for over 2000 visitors, we had no idea what we were signing up for. Luckily my wise son taught me a very valuable lesson…
