You are invited into eight private gardens …
In 2026, the Garden Tour features 8 gardens within the town of Uxbridge and on countryside properties located throughout Uxbridge Township. Visit gardens with water features, stroll through a verdant countryside grove, and take in hilltop views from bountiful gardens. This countryside drive offers a leisurely pace making for an easy day trip, no matter what route you chose to follow to these amazing gardens.
In celebration of the Tour’s 30th Anniversary, a special optional 9th sculpture garden has been added to the tour route. There are also 2 new combo tickets available which include workshops by Canadian Succulents and refreshments. Choose which way you wish to spend your tour day !
The tour proudly features local artists who have been invited to display their works in selected gardens. Several talented painters creating “en plein air” (live painting outdoors) are invited to paint in the gardens throughout the day. Many of the artists offer their artwork for sale during the tour. There are also garden art and plant vendors with items available for purchase.
Your standard admission includes a Tour Passport that provides a driving map and a description of each garden, along with a Wristband for each participant (both provided on the day of the tour at the welcome centre). Wristbands must be worn as proof of your ticket to gain admission in to each garden.
