About this event

This annual tour will highlight beautiful private gardens in the west-end Toronto neighbourhood of Hogg's Hollow, known for its connection to nature and parkland, rich history, and some pretty amazing gardeners!

Saturday and Sunday, June 7 and 8, 2025, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
One-Day Pass, Public $45, TBG Member $40
Two-Day Pass, Public $70, TBG Member $65
Two-Day Student/Child Pass, $25

Garden-goers will have the opportunity to visit 14 residential gardens, of varying sizes and themes. The self-guided format enables participants to discover the gardens at their own pace following a map and guide that contains descriptions of each featured garden. There is something new to discover and inspire behind every gate. A complimentary shuttle bus service is available for participants to “hop on and hop off” along the route, which is also very walkable.

There will be live music and local historians in select gardens to enhance the enjoyment of connecting with nature and Toronto's rich history. 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 will be happy to answer plant and garden design questions.

This is an outdoor event that can be enjoyed solo or with family and friends, strolling 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.
