8th Annual PNW Water Garden Tour
The Garden Tour Of The Summer Is Back
This August, a few of our favorite backyards across the South Sound are opening their gates for the afternoon — and you're invited to come wander through.
You'll see everything from small pondless waterfalls to full outdoor living spaces with ecosystem ponds, stonework, and layered plantings. Each garden has its own personality. Some are quiet and tucked away. Others are built for big summer gatherings. All of them are real homes that have been growing and evolving over the seasons.
Take your time, stop where you like, and chat with the homeowners about what it's actually like Living the Aquascape Lifestyle. The day wraps up at the Moonlight Pond Tour, where you can meet Mark and the team who've been building water gardens across the South Sound for more than thirty-five years.
