A local non-profit is showing off fabulous local gardens in the area as part of an annual fundraising event.
The 20th Annual People Place Garden Tour on Saturday June 8, has nine gardens to explore as part of a self-guided tour. The sites include two in West Vernon, three in the East Hill area, and two in Coldstream.
The tour, which will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., is run by People Place, a non-profit society that provides secure office space for other non-profits and charities at below-market rates.
The People Place building in Vernon currently houses 11 other non-profits, including Community Foundation North Okanagan, Independent Living Vernon, Okanagan Advocacy and Resource Society, and the Canadian Mental Health Association.
