Puget Sound - Garden Fling 2024 Overview

A long weekend in Tacoma, Washington, viewing gardens of the region with 100 other garden bloggers and Social Media types. I am impressed with everyone's niche. Here's an overview of the weekend, one picture per garden.   More will follow in the coming weeks and months.

Puget Sound.  Wherever you are in the region, you're not far from water.  Both salt and fresh, all carved out by glaciers.

Oh, and all the borrowed landscape.

That's the end of my tour.   I will create a post for each garden in the coming weeks and months.  I also have 28 gardens from my June's tour to post as well.  Thanks for reading.

    The gardens were spectacular, and so was that borrowed landscape. What a tour! I look forward to seeing your future posts about it, Mike.

    That is a nice overview of the gardens we visited. In particular, I love the photo you took at the Heckler Garden. Looking forward to see what you think of them more in depth!
