Edmonds in Bloom garden

Spring is here and Edmonds in Bloom welcomes gardeners to join in the fun activities planned for this year.

The garden event season kicks off with “Kids Plant for Mom’s Day” on Saturday, May 7 from 9am – 2pm. Children create beautiful pots for their moms for Mother’s Day at the downtown Garden Market on 5th and Bell St. with help from Edmonds in Bloom volunteers.

Gardeners interested in entering the Garden Competition can submit their entry forms May 1 through June 30 online. Single family, multi-family, youth/group and vegetable gardens are encouraged to join in this event as we strive to acknowledge Edmonds’ beautiful gardens. Entry forms are also available at Frances Anderson Center, Garden Gear and the Log Cabin in Edmonds.

The 21st annual Edmonds in Bloom Garden Tour will take place on Sunday, July 17th from 11am – 4pm. The self-guided tour will include seven beautiful gardens in Edmonds. This event is always a highlight of the season for garden lovers. Tickets will go on sale in June and be available from local merchants and online.

The Awards Reception is scheduled for August 3 at 7pm at the Edmonds Center for the Arts. (ECA)
