Garden Tour

Flathead County Democratic Women will hold their seventh annual Garden Tour on July 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Garden Tour offers a self-guided tour of six private gardens in the Flathead Valley, each offering its own inspiration, beauty and charm. It also features a mini garden market and plant sale, MSU educational gardening handouts and refreshments.

Tickets are $20 and are available at Princess & Buck at 139 Main St in Kalispell, Sage & Cedar at 214 Central Ave in Whitefish, Uptown Hearth at 619 Nucleus Ave in Columbia Falls and Nancy O’s Interiors at 7935 Montana Hwy 35 in Bigfork. Tickets can also be purchased at the first garden, 401 3rd St E in Kalispell, on the day of the tour. Children under 14 are free with a paying adult.

The Garden Tour is a fundraiser for the Flathead County Democratic Women’s Scholarship fund. The Scholarship has been available annually to Flathead County high school seniors and FVCC students. The student recipients have shown academic excellence and have been involved with both school and community activities with the goal of creating a better world. Scholarship winners can use the financial assistance toward higher education or vocational training. Three $1,000 scholarships were awarded in 2026.

Free meals

Columbia Falls Community Kitchen will be serving free, delicious meals on July 30 and 31 at 6 p.m. in the basement of St. Richard’s Catholic Church.  CFCK is nondenominational and everyone is welcome.
