For the safety of everyone in this uncertain and ever-changing time with the COVID-19 virus, the Orcas Garden Club Board has decided to suspend all activities for the remainder of this season, including the annual Garden Tour in June.

“We are very saddened and disappointed about the need to cancel this beloved community event, but our planning team is optimistic about having an even bigger and better celebration tour next year,” say organizers. “We anticipate we will resume meetings in September 2020 with our fall line-up of presenters. We encourage you to take this opportunity to spend some extra time in your gardens and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us. Be safe and be well.”
