Hello Fellow Garden Lovers!
This year's East Vancouver Garden Tour is on Father's Day, Sunday, June 16th. It's completely sold out for this year!! It's our one fundraiser for Britannia Neighbours, and the proceeds go to maintaining the Napier Square Greenway (at Napier and Commercial). We use the money we raise to buy plants and supplies, and to pay people to water and pick up litter in the Greenway.
This year’s tour will feature more than a dozen wonderfully diverse home gardens, both well established and newer ones.
The gardens will be a mix of flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees. There will either be home gardeners or Master Gardeners at each site to chat and answer questions.
To start the tour, you check in with us and pick up your map (indicating where all the gardens are and including brief descriptions of each of them) at our usual home base at Figaro’s Garden (https://www.figarosgarden.ca) at 1896 Victoria Drive. The tour will be in an area close to Figaro's, so you will likely be able to walk to a starting spot ... and the tour itself should be comfortably walkable for most people.
- Click on the "buy tickets" link below to get your tickets online. Eventbrite is now sold out!
- Drop in to Figaro's Garden to buy tickets (exactly $20 — in person and cash only) while they last!! Figaro's is now sold out too!
Tickets are available until June 15th or until we sell out. THEY ARE COMPLETELY SOLD OUT NOW! SORRY! Avoid disappointment next year and plan to get your tickets early!
You could, for example, pick up your tour map at 11:00, visit a few gardens, have a leisurely lunch somewhere nearby, and then return to see the rest of the gardens on the tour. Do plan on being done by 4:00 when the gardens officially close!
Important notes:
- Tickets are non-refundable.
- The gardens cannot accommodate wheelchairs or strollers.
- Children must be 9 years or older or babies in arms.
- Pets are not allowed.
- Please don't take photos unless you have the gardeners' permission.
