Blackburn Hamlet Garden Tour

July 6th-7th

10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Calling all gardeners, aspiring gardeners, and anyone who enjoys the beauty and tranquility of nature! Please join us on July 6 & 7 between 10am and 4pm for the 3rd annual Garden Tour, right here in the Hamlet. Come and enjoy all 14 wonderful gardens that are participating in this year’s tour.

New this year will be the addition of Hamlet artists: Marion Jean Hall, Zoe Hoisak and Dulcet Juvet will be sharing their talents by painting and drawing in the garden on their canvases.

Jenifir and David Theiss-Thompson (flute and violinist from NAC), Garth Hampson and Pat Messier (Retd RCMP Staff Sgt/Singer with RCMP band accompanied by organist) will once again perform beautiful music in some of the most lovely gardens on the tour.

The tour is free, but select gardens will have a clay flower pot for donations to the Lifecentre Food Bank.

On tour days, signs will be placed at the end of the driveways to indicate the locations of the gardens on display.

** NOTE ** There will be many road closures along highway 174 in Orleans, including the Montreal Road exits.  If you are traveling from Orleans, please use Innes Road.  If you are travelling on the Queensway Eastbound, please take the Innes road exit off of the 417 and travel east on Innes to reach Blackburn Hamlet.
