Be a Garden Tour Host

You’ve shoveled compost, pulled weeds, planted and picked off slugs to create a garden you are proud of.

How about sharing it with your neighbors by being part of the Edmonds in Bloom Annual Garden Tour!

All year, our Garden Selection Committee searches for notable gardens in Edmonds and Woodway to share with the community.  On the third Sunday of July, the Garden Tour showcases these gardenscapes, with proceeds to benefit Edmonds in Bloom beautification and educational projects.
