Garden Tour makes its return to Amherstburg weekend of June 8 and 9

The Amherstburg Fort Malden Horticultural Society (AFMHS) is bringing back its popular Garden Tour.

The AFMHS says it looks forward to inviting the public to visit private gardens in town. 

“Each garden is unique but what they all share in common is the creativity, vision, hard work, and very green thumbs of our local gardeners!”

The event is June 8-9 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. from each day. It starts at the Toddy Jones Park pavilion (50 North St.) where people can buy their tour access passes for $15 (cash only). Addresses of the gardens will be in the passes. If a person purchased a ticket in advance, they can present it the day of the tour at the pavilion.

This is a rain or shine event! All proceeds from the Garden Tour go back into the community to support AFMHS programs. People must provide their own transportation to get to the gardens and bring their tour access pass. People can visit gardens in any order. 

Whether people end their tour on Saturday or Sunday, they are invited  to fill out the ballot in their tour access pass and bring it to the clock at the intersection of Richmond St. and Dalhousie St. for a chance to win prizes! Be sure to enjoy the gardens in the Navy Yard Park as well.
