EGT2014-stop5-1

Many thanks to the volunteers and gracious hosts who opened their gardens to nearly 200 people during our 6th Annual Edible Garden Tour last month!    We raised $1,750 which will go directly towards community projects in Ballard!   Carolyn, Chuck, Kathryn and Jean took home great raffle prizes — for that we give a special thanks to our sponsors:  Swansons Nursery, Honoré Artisan Bakery and New Roots Organics.  Our thanks to Feet First for organizing a walk-within-the-tour; you can see their great photos here.
