Join fellow garden lovers on Sunday, June 12 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for an exclusive, hosted tour visiting six private gardens in the Township of Langley.
The Aldergrove Fair Garden Tour is a fundraiser to benefit the 2016 Aldergrove Fair, which returns on July 15, 16 and 17. The theme of this year’s fair is “Garden Party.”
Every garden on this tour has a distinct personality reflecting the owner’s preferences and creativity. On the tour guests will see large estate gardens, gardens with wonderful views, gardens with hardscape, arbours, fountains and ponds, gardens with container plantings, gardens specializing in hybridizing plants, and formal gardens — and gardens planted to energize and focus the visitor’s wellbeing.
These gardens are rarely open for public viewing, making this tour even more special; be sure to bring your camera.
Tickets are $65 plus $4.51 service fee with limited seats available, adults only, please.
Each ticket includes hosted tour of six private gardens, coach transportation with pick-up and drop-off at the Otter Co-op 248 St. at Fraser Hwy., and lunch and refreshments. It also includes free admission to the Aldergrove Fair, July 15, 16 and 17.
Not just one, but two master gardeners will be on hand to answer questions during the tour.
Restrooms are available on the coach, and at Gardens #1, #3, #5, and #6.
As there is much uneven ground, the gardens are not wheelchair, stroller, or walker accessible. Organizers regret they cannot accommodate specific dietary needs or allergies and recommend guests bring a bagged lunch if needed.
Event participants assume all risks associated with the Aldergrove Fair Garden Tour, including but not limited to uneven ground, stairways, slippery areas, and other hazards. Please be careful. Your safety is important to us.
