Why We're Different 
Our garden tour is unique! Each garden is owned and maintained by one of our EMGs.
By opening up these private gardens you get a rare chance to wander through your neighbor's backyard and see and learn from local experts.
While on the tour you will receive information about each garden and educational fact sheets full of practical tips and ideas.
Ask the Experts
We welcome your questions as we want you to learn from your experience. The garden owners and our university-trained EMG volunteers will be available throughout the tour to answer all your questions.
We are confident you will discover a gem that appeals to your individual taste. Take time to stop, look, listen, photograph and enjoy! We encourage pictures!
Biennial — Every other year
You don’t want to miss your chance to enjoy these private gardens. We only offer our tour once every two years.
You'll come away dreaming of all the simple things you can do to transport your own landscape from dull to delightful.
Handcrafted Garden Art and Hostas
Our Extension Master Gardener volunteers have outdone themselves this time. They have created one of kind hand crafted garden art. But hurry... these sell out quickly! Back by popular demand are the hostas, with a wide selection of the newest varieties for your garden.
