Kirkland Arts Center Announces First Gallery of Gardens Tour 7/26
Kirkland Arts Center is pleased to announce the first annual Kirkland Gallery of Gardens Tour. This event, which takes place on Sunday, July 26, is a fundraiser for Kirkland Arts Center. Proceeds from the Tour support KAC exhibitions, outreach, education programs, and much-needed maintenance and improvements to our historic landmark facility, the Peter Kirk Building.
The self-guided Gallery of Gardens Tour begins at 11 AM at Kirkland Arts Center, where ticket holders receive tour maps revealing the gardens' locations upon arrival. The four private gardens, rarely or never before open for public viewing, are all within 1.5 miles of our downtown location.
Featured this year are FOUR DISTINCT GARDENS:
* A Northwest contemporary waterfront retreat featuring sun-drenched Mediterranean plantings beds, Asian-inspired shade gardens, and a hillside vegetable and fruit orchard perched above.
* An elegant European garden graced by stone terraces and formal fountains with a bounty of organically grown edibles at every turn.
* An inviting certified wildlife sanctuary and botanical garden featuring over 300 species of native and Northwest climate-friendly plants and six unique water features scattered alongside a running creek.
* A sustainable family garden complete with herb and vegetable gardens, livestock, and a barn and pasture that spread beyond the shadow of one of Kirkland's magnificent historic homes.
