Here is a link to my column in today's edition of The Spokesman-Review: An explosion of beauty.
It is about next Saturday's (June 18) "Spokane in Bloom" garden tour. The tour features six gardens located in the Colbert and Nine Mile Falls areas. Tickets cost $10 and can be purchased at many local nurseries as well as at the gardens featured in the article on the day of the tour.
I had the pleasure of meeting Stan and Donna Canter, who have a beautiful garden in Colbert. They're super-nice folks who have created an amazing garden that is obviously a labor of love for them. I loved their water garden with it's natural-looking setting and all of the beautiful koi carp in it.
I'm looking forward to attending the garden tour and hope you will be able to go, too. It's a fun way to spend a day outdoors.
