SpoValley garden tour set for Saturday

Spokane is a gardening town filled with hidden gems. A garden tour is your invitation to explore them and be inspired. The first tour of the season, Spokane in Bloom, is Saturday. Put on by the Inland Empire Gardeners, the tour will feature five Spokane Valley gardens. Get ready for an explosion of color when you visit Mike Di Biase and Chanel Fan’s garden, located at 17606 E. Ridge Court in Greenacres. Di Biase designed it in the cottage garden style. “Cottage gardens have mass plantings with emphasis on mass blooming,” he said. “There’s no structure to it, but there’s a feeling of harmonious flow. Everything I do is for the color.”/ Susan Mulvihill , SR. More here .

Question: How green is your thumb? (I spent the weekend putting in my veggie garden — my first in 10 years.)
