Vashon Island Garden Tour

Hi there,

Hope you're enjoying this glorious spring weather! I wanted to share with you our short, 2-minute promo video for this year's Vashon Island Garden Tour: https://vimeo.com/93861965

I thought you might be particularly interested because Jo Robinson, NY Times bestselling author of Eating on the Wild Side, is one of our featured garden hosts. Her garden has an impressive collection of the Northwest's most nutritious fruits and vegetable varieties.

If you're feeling inspired to share it on your blog we'd be delighted!

Thank you for your consideration.

Justin
