At the Oysterville Store

The information we have, so far, about the Music in the Gardens tour a week from today is just enough to tantalize!  We know the identities of some of the musicians involved.  And we know that there will be artists ‘on duty’ in a couple of the gardens.  We know how many gardens are involved and, in a general way, where they are.  But that’s the extent of it!  That’s why I call it a “Wait-and-See!”

All will become clear when we pick up our tickets.  For right now, though, these are the tantalizing bits of information we’ve been told:

•   Seven Gardens – one in “Deep Seaview, one in Long Beach, and five in Ocean Park
•   Noel Thomas will be painting in the Long Beach Garden
•   One of the Ocean Park sites features a 25-foot lot, packed with plants
•   Acústica World Music will be playing at a bayside garden
•   Terry Robb of Portland will be playing at one of the gardens
•   The Winterlings, also of Portland, will be playing at another
•   Local musicians – The Mozart Chicks, Tom Trudell, Barbara Bate and Brian O’Connor – will be playing… somewhere
•   One of the Ocean Park gardens will have a botanical illustration class taught by Dorota Haber-Lehigh
•   Rita Nicely will be catering small bites in one of the gardens

Garden Owners’ IDs (so you’ll know who to ask)

Other facts of interest – this is the 10^th Anniversary of the Music in the Gardens Tour.  Since other nearby (Astoria, Gearhart) garden tours have been discontinued in recent years, ‘ours’ here on the Peninsula is even more special!.

Tickets are $20 and are available at the Oysterville Store, the Bay Avenue Gallery in Ocean Park, at the English Nursery in Seaview, or may be purchased online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2530370.  Your ticket will entitle you to a map which will reveal locations and other pertinent information.

See you in the gardens next Saturday, July 16^th between 10 and 4!
