Guelph Horticultural Society Garden Showcase Garden Tour

GARDEN SHOWCASE is an annual event that takes place this spring on Sunday, June 8, 2025 from 1:00 pm to 5:30 pm. You will enjoy this self-guided tour of outstanding Guelph gardens. This popular event is great value for money priced at $15. There will be one large property at the edge of Guelph and 7 other gardens for a total of 8 gardens. Continuing this year is the opportunity for a neighbourhood “walking tour”. Two gardens are located close to each other in “The Ward” and one garden is nearby on “Grange Hill”. Guests can stroll through these neighbourhoods observing beautiful boulevard gardens along the way.

Unique to the 2025 Garden Tour is that All the Gardens have been created and tended by members of the Guelph and Wellington County Master Gardener’s group. Members of the GWMG are knowledgeable about plants and enjoy sharing their expertise with the public. This year you will experience first hand learning about gardening from these experts with their own gardens as inspiration!

As always there is a wide variety of garden styles and an interesting diversity of plants to discover. In the mix are three large gardens, three small gardens- two of which are rental properties and two average city properties. Explore creative ideas in design, eco practices, vegetable growing, garden structures and art objects integrated into the landscape. Enhance your experience of the gardens with local artists displaying their artwork and local musicians playing as you wander. Learn and satisfy your curiosity by posing questions to the Garden Owners, Garden Minders and Master Gardeners who are available to share their knowledge and expertise with you. Learn from them, take with you and adapt these ideas into your own home garden.
