A self-guided tour through private gardens throughout downtown Sanford's historic district and the Sanford Heights neighborhood. This event will feature an artisan vendor market, local gardening and wildlife educators, plein air artists, and a tea lunch. We think it's the perfect way to kickoff springtime in beautiful historic Sanford!
After gathering inspiration, visit our marketplace at Centennial Park (400 S Park Ave, in front of the check in location at Bettye Smith Cultural Arts Center). There will be plenty of plants, art, jewelry, and garden-themed gifts! Here you can also enjoy iced refreshments and other delicious lunch options.
Day of tickets will be sold at Bettye D. Smith Cultural Arts Center (119 W. 5th St, Sanford) and that is also where you will need to check-in for presale tickets.
10 am - 4 pm: Pick up your wristband and map at Bettye D. Smith Cultural Arts Center (119 W. 5th St, Sanford) prior to enjoying the tour. Check-in opens at 9:30 am, gardens open at 10 am. It will take 2 to 3 hours to see all of the gardens.
9:30 am - 4:30 pm: Shop the plant sale and vendor market at Centennial Park (400 S Park Ave, Sanford).
