Another little sneak peek into what’s waiting for you on this year’s Garden Tour 🌿✨

Every stop on the tour tells its own story. Some gardens invite you in with bold color and overflowing blooms, others feel like quiet hidden retreats with winding paths, thoughtful design, and peaceful corners made for slowing down and taking it all in. No two gardens are alike, and that’s exactly what makes this weekend so special.

At the Grosse Pointe Garden Center, we believe gardens are more than beautiful spaces. They are living classrooms that teach us about the natural world, connect us to our environment, and inspire us to be better stewards of our communities.

Through educational programs, resources, and outreach, we encourage gardeners of all experience levels to create landscapes that support native plants, birds, butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Every garden has the potential to contribute to a healthier ecosystem while providing beauty, enjoyment, and a sense of place.

The 34th Annual Garden Tour, “We The People…Garden,” is a celebration of that mission. Each featured garden reflects the creativity, care, and passion of its gardeners while demonstrating the many ways gardens enrich our lives. From providing habitat for wildlife to creating spaces for reflection, gathering, and connection, these gardens help shape how we experience our community.

As you explore this year’s tour, we hope you will not only enjoy the beauty on display, but also find inspiration in the ways gardens bring people together, foster learning, and create lasting joy for generations to come.

📍 Friday, June 19 and Saturday, June 20
🕙 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Enjoy a self-paced tour featuring garden docents, artists, live music, refreshments, a Garden Shoppe, and a scavenger hunt throughout the weekend.
🎟 Advance tickets are $15 through Thursday, June 18 at 6 p.m.
🎟 Tour days tickets are $20
🎟 One ticket includes access to all seven gardens both days, rain or shine

We cannot wait to welcome you for a weekend full of beauty, inspiration, and community.

A special little moment from one of this year’s garden tour spaces, where Killdeer were spotted making themselves right at home. These ground-nesting shorebirds don’t build traditional nests but instead lay their eggs in simple scrapes on the ground, often blending into gravel, soil, or open garden areas. If you ever see one nearby, you might also notice their dramatic “broken wing” display, a clever distraction tactic used to lead predators away from their nest.

Finds like this are a reminder that gardens are more than just beautiful spaces. They are living habitats that support birds, pollinators, and all kinds of wildlife throughout the season. Even small pockets of intentional planting and natural ground cover can make a real difference in creating safe, welcoming places for species like the Killdeer to thrive.

Stay tuned for more sneak peeks as we get closer to the 34th Annual Garden Tour.
