Confluence Gallery’s Annual Tour of Homes:
Home Sweet Home…and Garden

Given a burgeoning interest in gardening and sustainable living, Confluence Gallery & Art Center’s eighth annual Methow Valley Tour of Homes will include three vegetable gardens and six homes.

Home Sweet Home...and Garden is Saturday, June 27, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Homes showcased in this year’s tour feature unique designs, efficient building materials and cozy livability. Various construction styles are represented including log, timber frame and contemporary open beam. Contractors, architects and artisans will be at the home sites to answer questions.

For aspiring or befuddled vegetable gardeners, experienced consultants with very green thumbs will be in the gardens to answer questions and demonstrate effective approaches to garden design, irrigation and deer defense. The tour, extending from Twisp River to the Mazama store, coincides with the similarly themed exhibit at Confluence Gallery entitled Home Sweet Home, which showcases various approaches to displaying art in the home and garden.

Tickets for the tour are $25 or, to encourage car-pooling, four for $80. Tickets are now on sale at Confluence Gallery, 104 Glover Street, Twisp. Ticket sales are limited and advance purchase is recommended.

On the day before and the day of the tour, ticket holders can redeem their tickets at the gallery for a tour map and a brochure describing each house. Proceeds from ticket sales support exhibits and programs offered by Confluence Gallery & Art Center. For additional information, please call 509-997-2787.
