BLACKBURN GARDENS IS A MICRO-URBAN FLOWER FARM right on the border between old town Mount Vernon, WA, and the Skagit Valley’s rich farmland. It’s easily accessible from both downtown and i5, and it’s become small-town famous for its cold-hardy flower starts, cozy you-pick, stocked flower cart, and annual dried flower sale—a new Mount Vernon tradition.
