FREE ADMISSION! Designing Divas Garden Tour and Festival: Put a little "spring" in your step at the Designing Divas Garden Tour and Festival Saturday, May 5th & May 12th 10am-4pm! Stroll through wonderful gardens and shop for luscious plants, unique containers, and garden art. Admission is free; donations of pet food or money will be accepted for Concern for Animals.

Cathy Johnson of Dandelion Gardens (5415 Peninsula Dr. SE, Olympia 98513), Leslie Coulter of Outdoors by Design (221 SE State Route 3, Shelton 98584), and Evonne Peryea of Plantasia Botanical Gardens and Design Center (3938 88th Ave SW, Tumwater 98512) invite you to walk through their three inspiring gardens. After your leisurely stroll, shop for luscious plants (including non-running bamboo), unique containers and garden art.  Cathy, Leslie, and Evonne will be onsite at each garden to guide you through their landscapes, answer questions, and give you fresh ideas for your landscape. 

This year the Designing Divas are excited to support Concern for Animals with pet food and monetary donations collected at each garden location.  Concern for Animals funds spay/neuter procedures, emergency medical care, vaccinations, and a free pet food bank.  They also assist with rescue and adoption efforts in Thurston, Mason and Lewis counties.

Support their hanging basket and flower bowl fundraiser held during the May 5^th tour at Plantasia Botanical Gardens and Dandelion Gardens.  All proceeds support their programs to help those who cannot help themselves.
