“Generous homeowners open their world-class properties to the public, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy these hidden gem landscapes," explained GBC Executive Director Phoebe Lindsay in a news release. "The Grandiflora Garden Tour has been a highlight on the Greenwich Botanical Center’s event calendar since 1958 and is a key fundraiser for the non-profit."

The 2022 Garden Tour will not disappoint with a breathtaking slate of exclusive private gardens in the lineup for June 10 and June 11. From a pollinator-friendly garden, to a true wetland garden with native trees and wetland friendly perennials, and a Garden for Wildlife to gardens that were first created in the early 1900s, this year’s tour is not to be missed.

Attendees can visit each garden once, on a self-guided tour, either day. Self-guided tour tickets will be mailed a week prior to the tour with the location of the gardens. Ticket purchases after June 2 must be picked up at the GBC.

A popular add-on to the tour ticket is a box lunch option by Happiness Is Catering for Friday pick-up only. Boxed lunches must be ordered by June 3. As in years past, an online silent auction with a variety of great items will open up at the beginning of June. Find more tour information and tickets here.
