Maple Grove Days is proud to present the 15th Annual Garden Tour on Sunday, July 14th from 1-5 pm. Relax and stroll through several personal and group gardens and discover these hidden treasures for yourself. At each garden stop, local lawn and garden centers will distribute a variety of great coupon deals and giveaways for visitors. We're also excited for the workshops presented by master gardeners and local experts at each site. These sessions will be offered at the beginning and end of each hour.
Maps to each site can be picked up at The Community Center, Arbor Lakes Dental, Butterfly Gardens, Dundee Nursery, Hedberg Landscape, Lawn King Inc., Lord of Life Church, Lynde Greenhouse, Malmborg’s Garden Center, and The Oilerie.
If you go, look for the official garden tour signs and please be very respectful of the homeowners'/business'/groups' properties. We are so grateful to these folks for making their gardens available to us!
