In addition to the beautiful gardens and guest speaker, there will be artists and garden related vendors throughout the tour. Posters advertising this special event feature the fourth original watercolor painted specifically for the Tour by internationally famous painter, Nancy Rankin. The TCC Gig Harbor Center will display the original watercolor until June 29th when it will be auctioned to the highest bidder. Sealed bids will be accepted up to June 24. All the proceeds from the Garden Tour benefit the Peninsula Adult Education Program, a literacy program for adults in the Gig Harbor and Peninsula area.
Admission is free.
Visitors to the new on-line exhibit will learn what women living on the Gig Harbor Peninsula were experiencing from the 1860s through the 1970s. The exhibit also has information about some of the women's organizations that have influenced life on the Peninsula. The exhibit is illustrated with historical photographs and images of artifacts from the society's collection. We will be performing out of doors at Cottesmore of Life Care in Gig Harbor. We have some funds available to pay an individual dependent upon experience.
