Editor,

Kudos to you and your new reporter, Kate Daniel, for the wonderful article on the Whidbey Island Garden Tour. We are sure it helped make this year’s tour a resounding success with the highest attendance since 2008.

We also heartily thank the garden owners and 100 plus volunteers who created a delightful experience for all who attended. What a joy to be part of such an engaged community.

On behalf of the garden tour’s board and all of this year’s beneficiaries,

PENNY HARGER,

president
