One of next weekend’s big events: The West Seattle Garden Tour (with WSB among this year’s co-sponsors). Tonight, WSGT organizers shared the photo above, with this report:

We had a great Garden Tour Container party today at Clay Swidler’s house, preparing magnificent Succulent containers for next week’s 16th annual West Seattle Garden Tour!

Pictured from left to right are committee members Carolyn Graye, Michelle Drewien, 2010 WSGT Gardener extraordinaire Mari Malcom, and Kathleen Kemp. See you all at the July 18th WSGT next week!

You’ll see some of those containers on the tour too. Tickets are $15 and not only represent a donation to local nonprofits, they also get you admission to the lecture/workshop by edible gardening/backyard chicken guru Willi Galloway (a West Seattleite) and wine/chocolate/cheese/pastry tasting afterward. You can buy yours online, or in person at the locations listed here.
