Garden seekers will also have a chance to ask questions and learn something too! Knowledgeable Toronto Master Gardeners will be stationed in each garden and are happy to answer plant and garden design questions. All proceeds from the tour support the Toronto Botanical Garden.

This outdoor event can be enjoyed solo or with family and friends. Stroll along the tree-lined streets while skipping in and out of gardens. Come early or linger after the tour to shop or dine at one of the local restaurants in the area.

Features include:

• A self-guided format to discover the gardens at your own pace following a printed guide and map.
• Access a comprehensive digital guide with full descriptions of the featured gardens, historical facts, touring tips, and more.
• Wildflower seed paper wristband will give you access to the gardens, shuttle buses and dining discounts. After the event, you can plant it in your garden!
• A complimentary shuttle bus service is available for participants to “hop on and hop off” along the route, which is also very walkable.

Location TBA.
