36th Annual Garden Tour
June 24, 2023 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
The Master Gardeners of Hamilton County are delighted to present our 36th Annual Garden Tour! This year’s tour features six unique gardens in Brainerd and East Brainerd located around Brainerd Road, East Brainerd Road, and Standifer Gap Road, including five private homes and Audubon Acres Pollinator Gardens. These diverse garden oases highlight the unique visions of the property owners, featuring landscapes with water features, stone work, structures including potting sheds, fences and gates, as well as work done to redesign and replant after the 2020 tornado. In addition, these personal outdoor spaces are filled with a mix of trees, shrubs, and massed plantings to encourage pollinators and other wildlife. Our public garden is located within a preserved wilderness that is being developed to expand their pollinator fields and create awareness and appreciation for our natural habitat.
The tour can be started at any of the gardens, which can be visited in any order. Tours of the gardens are self-guided, so feel free to take your time exploring the properties. Parking is on the street or where designated. We recommend carpooling if possible. As most of these are private homes, we cannot guarantee that all locations are handicapped accessible. We suggest wearing comfortable clothing and appropriate shoes for walking. Home owners and Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer questions. There will also be signs and plant lists for identifying many of the plantings. We hope you enjoy and are inspired by these wonderful outdoor spaces!”
