It's a great way to support the
Bainbridge Island Arts and Humanities Council and preview the
gardens before the weekend event.
Last year's Patron Preview was a sell-out success, so we're bringing
it back again this year, by popular demand. As a special fundraiser,
a limited number of Patron level tickets will be sold for an afternoon
private showing of the gardens, complete with access to the garden
owners who are more than happy to answer questions about their
gardens. Following the day of touring, enjoy an evening cocktail
party featuring gardening celebrities sponsored by Mutual Materials.
Patrons receive an artist signed 2002 Garden Tour poster and
are recognized with a listing of their names in the gardens. The
package of two tickets at the Patron level is $300 and may be
used all weekend for unlimited access to the gardens.
At each garden Patrons are greeted by garden hosts and garden
owners who are available to answer questions.
