The 23rd annual Edmonds in Bloom Garden Tour will be held on Sunday, July 15, 2018.
A summer must-do for many gardeners, this year’s Garden Tour is filled with inspiration. The 2018 Garden Tour features seven private gardens, six in Edmonds itself and one in Woodway. Gardens range from professionally designed and installed properties to hands-on, DIY creations that truly showcase the owner’s personality and hard work.

Tickets are $15 each in advance, or $20 each at the first garden on the day of the tour.
