Daily Find
In late January 2000, Pacific Northwest magazine profiled
lifelong Georgetown resident Jon Dove, that year's grand-prize winner
of the Arboretum Foundation's Pacific Northwest Garden contest. The
garden of his towering 1905 home was resplendent with lush foliage,
prolific roses and an onion-dome-shaped privet. Now Dove and more than 20 of his neighbors are busily sprucing up their gardens for the 13th annual Georgetown Art and Garden Walk, which takes place Sunday, July 13.
