STEPPIN’ UP AND OUT
Take a Peek
The Madison Park Garden Tour is coming soon- Saturday May 18th from 10-3. Tickets are only $20/each to view 12 Gardens and all within walking distance in lower Madison Park. Buy tickets HERE.
We are also still looking for volunteers to help us that day- a 2 hour shift snags you a free ticket to view all the gardens. Please sign up to help HERE.
And check out the POP-UP Market vendors that will be located at the Bank of America Parking lot.
Below is a peek of what awaits you on the garden tour…..
BEAUTIFY MADISON PARK!!!!
The City of Seattle has issued our long-awaited permit to bring flowering containers to Madison Park’s business district. Our goal is to plant 10 containers this summer and add 10 more containers in the Fall.
Each container is 28” x 28”, planted with a combination of evergreens, annuals for color and spring bulbs. To purchase, plant and maintain each planter for a year is an initial investment of $2000/container. We are halfway to our goal for Phase 1 of raising $20,000; and sponsorships are detailed below. We need your help to make this happen!!!!
Combine with friends-like your block, your book club, your soccer team- or in honor of someone special, or simply on your own to help us bring year round beauty to our business area. DONATE HERE. Specify donation for planters.
We are also part of GIVE BIG 2024. Please Donate HERE for our Beautify Madison Park campaign and our Circle Of Friends.
