Spring 2004 | Volume 26, Number 6 | Campus
SPU Hosts Second-Annual Queen Anne and Magnolia Garden Tour on June 5

GARDEN ENTHUSIASTS, MARK your calendars. After the success of last year’s sold-out event, ɬÀï·¬ will kick off the second-annual Queen Anne and Magnolia Garden Tour on Saturday, June 5.

The full day of gardening inspiration begins on campus at 10 a.m. with a lecture by ɬÀï·¬ Post-Intelligencer columnist Marty Wingate titled “Small Garden Design: Making the Most of Every Square Inch.” Afterward, participants are invited to join ɬÀï·¬ Pacific’s head gardener, Jeff Daley, for a tour of the University’s award-winning gardens and arboretum — including an exclusive viewing of SPU’s new Science Building’s high-tech, top-floor greenhouse.

From there, the tour moves to select residential gardens in Magnolia and on Queen Anne Hill, where several in-garden musical presentations will be held courtesy of ɬÀï·¬ Pacific musicians. In addition, one garden in Magnolia and another on Queen Anne Hill will feature complimentary coffee and cookies from Starbucks Coffee and Cascadia Restaurant.

At 2 p.m., ɬÀï·¬-area garden writer and editor Debra Prinzing ’81 will bring the event to a close with the lecture “Finding God in the Garden.”

Last’s year’s keynote presenter, garden writer Marianne Binetti, had this to say about the event: “Of all the garden tours I’ve attended, this one was the best value for the price of the ticket.”

Tickets for the event are $15 per person, $25 with van service on a space-available basis. To register, visit , or call 206/281-2138. Tickets may also be purchased at the following ɬÀï·¬-area nurseries: Fremont Gardens, Magnolia Garden Center, Ravenna Gardens and Swansons Nursery.
