The 15th Annual Maple Grove Garden Tour takes place this Sunday, July 14th from 1 - 5pm. Don’t miss this fabulous chance to see some of the most thoughtfully designed gardens in our area. All are welcome to enjoy this free, self-guided tour gathering fresh inspiration and information for your own garden. Local businesses will offer special coupons, drawings, and give-aways to visitors. Each garden will feature workshops beginning at the top and bottom of every hour. Hennepin County Master Gardeners and unique garden containers created by the Maple Grove Art Center will welcome visitors to each garden. Feel free to stop at one or all four garden tour locations.
This year, the tour features four garden locations including Corcoran’s Milbrandt Gardens (10010 High Bluff Lane, Corcoran - 6 miles west of Mama G’s). Milbrandt Gardens is a 17 year old labor of love - eight acres of specialized, unique gardens inspired by Roz’s grandchildren. The individual gardens include a North Garden, a Memorial Garden, a Potager Vegetable Garden, a Bowling Green, a Stream Garden, a Magic Garden, and a fantastical Childrens Garden. The gardens are connected by paths, tunnels and bridges.
This is the first time, Milbrandt Gardens is open for the public as part of the Maple Grove Area Garden Tour. A local artist has created a special map of the garden in the spirit of Winnie the Pooh illustrator, Ernest H. Shepard.
