The Secret Gardens of Lake Forest Park Garden Tour
The Secret Gardens of Lake Forest Park is one of the great Seattle-area garden tours. On Saturday, June 16, 2007 the Fifth Annual Secret Gardens of Lake Forest Park garden tour will be opened. The tour features small intense gardens, a lakeside garden, and large landscaped home sites; each enchanting garden will foster your imagination and delight your senses.
The Secret Gardens of Lake Forest Park will feature talented local artists and musicians creating art and performing in the gardens. Having artists in the gardens and musicians performing makes our garden tour something out of the ordinary.
