37th Annual Garden Tour

The Master Gardeners of Hamilton County are pleased to present our 37th Annual Garden Tour! This year we have chosen eight unique gardens in the Red Bank, Hixson, and Soddy Daisy areas. Four gardens display the creativity and varied interests of current Master Gardeners; while the other four feature inspired landscapes created by long-time gardening enthusiasts. Highlights of this year’s tour include: a garden with over 250 daylily varieties; a landscaped area where palm and eucalyptus trees grow alongside colorful flower beds and other unique plantings; a loofah gourd patch; a shady stump garden with many varieties of ferns along rock paths; an Asian-inspired garden with Japanese maples; and an outdoor environmental classroom that provides an outstanding learning experience for elementary school students.

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!”
