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

Do you have a historic home over 100 years old? Do you enjoy gardening?
In 2025 Edmonds in Bloom will host a Garden Tour of local historical homes. Understanding there are few gardens left that are 100 years old, we can still admire the gardens of these special homes. We are looking for Edmonds homes that were built between 1850-1925, with an already lovely garden, or one that will be by 2025 (there is still time left to prepare your garden!) If you are interested in talking to us about this possibility, Fill out the Garden Tour Host Application (button link below).
