2025 Hidden Gems Garden Walk

Join us for a chance to explore the amazing efforts of Libertyville's neighborhood gardeners. The Hidden Gems Garden Walk on Saturday, June 28th, gives an insider's look into stunning outdoor spaces hidden just behind the front gate. The Garden Walk features five exceptional gardens in our area.

Gather some friends and enjoy a special summer Saturday on this self-guided tour, driving within Libertyville to five sites. Meet the gardeners who design and create these suburban oases. Be inspired and collect ideas for your own yards. This year's gardens spotlight both small and large lots, master gardeners and novices, water features and native plants.

Patrons will have an opportunity to speak with educators from Illinois Master Gardeners, Lake County; Audubon Society; and Lake County Forest Preserves (buckthorn removal/native replacements). We will also have two Artists showing and selling their work.

Add a stroll down Mainstreet Libertyville to shop or dine.

Proceeds from Hidden Gems fund community plantings, Libertyville Food Pantry, and a Scholarship for area students enrolled in a Horticulture/Environmental related field.
