Mark your calendars for July 5 & 6 from 10am to 4pm for the 4th annual Blackburn Hamlet Garden Stroll!

This free, self-guided tour invites you to explore the beauty of local gardens without the need for tickets—just bring your curiosity and enthusiasm.

Open to the public, the event welcomes visitors from across the city and beyond. This year, you can look forward to enjoying around 14 gardens, featuring both returning favourites and new additions. Two Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer your questions, and various artists will be present with their easels and paints, adding a creative touch to the stroll.

New this year, Adrian will be roaming the Hamlet in his ice cream truck, offering sweet treats on both days. Also, Just Food, located on 150 acres of NCC property off Pepin Court, will open their farm and gardens for visitors. Printed maps with more information will be available and will be posted on social media.

If you would like to share your garden, consider entering it in the Stroll. This is not a competition, but a chance to share your happy place with others. For inquiries or to enter your garden, contact Cynthia Hoisak at 613-799-9514 or choisak@rogers.com, and Miriam Hampson at miriam@blackburnhamlet.ca.
