18 Island sites highlight 3rd annual tour of edible gardens
A head count of about 170 visitors to Mr. Henry Austin’s Migley Point garden and acreage tour was one of the many high points of the 3rd annual Beach School Foundation fund-raiser that featured 18 garden stops this year on July 30.
Pedal, Snap, Ask, and Enjoy!
This event is excellent for bicycling, for photography, for enjoying Lummi Island’s nature, and for learning (and stealing ideas!) for planting and growing edible gardens of every shape and size, from one square foot to multiple acres, and including orchards. Some gardens received visitors as early as 8:30 a.m. and as late as 6 p.m.
All proceeds benefit Beach Elementary School’s future through the not-for-profit Beach School Foundation. The Foundation is grateful for all the sponsors, donations, and especially the gardeners who proudly opened their plots on this special day.
