East Van Tour of Private Gardens

Category(-ies): Community Events

Calling all gardeners! Mark your calendars for Sunday, June 18th, 2006, the date of the 13th annual tour of private gardens in East Vancouver. This one-day tour (10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) begins at Figaro’s Garden Centre (3rd Ave & Victoria Drive) and costs a reasonable $10 per person.

The tour is self-directed. Participants pick up a map of this year’s gardens at Figaro’s beginning at 9:30 a.m. The gardens in the tour are as varied as the gardeners: small or large, neat as a pin or wild as the wind, funky or formal, and there’s a wealth of great ideas and inspiration to take away for your own garden.

The East Van Tour of Private Gardens is co-sponsored by Britannia Community Centre and Figaro’s Garden Centre. Tickets are available from Britannia (604-718-5800) or Figaro’s (604-253-1696).
