The Mill Creek Garden Tour is Saturday, and the Snohomish Garden Tour is July 30.

MILL CREEK — Stop and smell the roses and get ideas to make your lawn lavish.

Garden tours let you peek behind the garden gates of other people’s yards.

The Mill Creek Garden Tour by Mill Creek Garden Club is 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

Artisans will sell crafts in each garden on the self-guided tour.

Advance tickets are $20. Day-of-tour tickets are $25.

Tickets can be purchased at Town & Country Market, Mill Creek Town Center; ACE Hardware of Silver Lake, Everett; McAuliffe’s Valley Nursery, Snohomish; Molbak’s Garden + Home, Woodinville; Sky Nursery, Shoreline; and Sunnyside Nursery, Marysville.

Ticket sales and a percentage of artisan sales fully fund the club’s grants program.

For the 2022-23 year, the club awarded grants totaling $8,500 to Farmer Frog, the Mill Creek Community Food Bank and Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County.
