Only 5 more days to get your garden tour tickets for the 2024 edition of the Gardens of Uxbridge Tour.
Don’t miss this fun day’s drive around the countryside of Uxbridge Township. Located less than an hour northeast of the GTA, this garden tour gives you a look behind the garden gate of 8 private gardens. The tour happens for one day from 10am to 5pm on Saturday, June 15th.
Almost every garden also features a guest artist or artisan, who often specializes in garden art, as well as plein air painters who ‘live’ paint in the gardens throughout the day. Artwork is for sale.
The Leaskdale Church, part of the Lucy Maud Montgomery national historic site, will also be serving tea and scones until 3pm as refreshments for garden tour participants.
This year there are 3 ticket options to choose from:
~ Garden Tour ticket – access to 8 gardens $25 per person
~ Garden Tour + Native Plants Book Talk by guest author, including afternoon high tea at the historic Leaskdale Church, a native plant sale, and a discount off the book price. $50 per person

Tickets are purchased online through the website at www.gardensofuxbridge.org. Visit our Tickets page to buy. Processing fees are additional.
The tour includes both town and countryside garden properties and will take approximately 3-4 hours of leisurely driving and strolling to complete. There is time to also visit the Church garden and to stop at a local restaurant, garden centre, or attraction along the way. See the suggestions in the tour passport.
Your ticket includes a wristband (for garden entry) and a Passport & Map complete with full descriptions of the gardens, artists, and points of interest. The Map provides a suggested route to follow and the roads are signed with garden tour directional signs should you choose to follow the suggested circle route from Uxbridge.
The wristband and Passport & Map are picked up at your first stop of the day – the Uxbridge Arena – where our Welcome Centre volunteers greet you at your car. This drive-thru check in means you don’t even need to leave your vehicle! We want you to have all the time you want to visit the gardens.
Saturday’s weather forecast is beautiful! So come on out to see the gardens and enjoy the early summer sunshine!
