The 23rd Annual Bainbridge In Bloom Garden Tour is set for July 8 through 10, 2011, in Bainbridge, Washington.

It features six gardens plus lectures, garden art vendors, plant vendors, food and music.

Cheri O’Brien’s “Indienne Flower with Bird” (reverse oil painting on glass) is the 2011 Bloom Poster Artwork. Cheri is a Pacific Northwest native residing in Everett, Washington.

The Bainbridge in Bloom Garden Tour is the lead fund-raising event for the Arts & Humanities Council. And, yes, Road Trips Gardeners, it goes on rain or shine.
