Gardens, Strawberries, Music and Sunshine
Farmer’s Market Opens
This past Saturday, the Madison Park Farmer’s Market opened with Joy Hollingsworth leading the official ribbon cutting, a wonderful crowd of neighbors mingling and checking out the vendors and a peek at what the Market will bring to the Community throughout the summer. 15 vendors lined the street with flats and flats of strawberries and raspberries, cookies, honey, produce, eggs, grilled salmon sandwiches and much more.
The Seattle Farmer’s Market plans to add 5+ more vendors next week and possibly more booths beyond that. The incredible turnout meant that a few vendors ran out of product so the Market asks for patience as it grows and settles in for the summer.
Here’s a glimpse of the beautiful morning and lots of smiling faces. Thank you, Cam Preston for our wonderful videos!
GARDEN TOUR SHINES WITH BEAUTIFUL DESIGNS AND RECORD ATTENDANCE
Saturday, June 7th was a gloriously sunny day with close to 600 people strolling Madison Park to view the 14 gardens on the Madison Park Garden Tour. Thank you to our generous neighbors for opening your stunning gardens to the public and to all our volunteer docents.

Just a few memories from last year’s event:
