Hidden Gardens and Private SpacesCabbagetown’s Annual Garden TourSunday June 7, 201510:00am – 3:00pmThe event of early summer! This self-guided tour brings visitors along the charming tree-lined streets of Cabbagetown’s Heritage Conservation District and through quiet back lanes to hidden alcoves of greenery.Visit unique urban gardens to explore the creative use of small spaces. Some gardens can only be entered from pleasant back lanes, which, at the turn of the last century, were used by horse-drawn carts to deliver ice, coal, bread or milk. Many lanes demonstrate “guerilla gardening” and have intriguing names: Yen, Magic, Gordon Sinclair, Chipping Sparrow.Gardeners will be on site to answer questions about their challenges: towering shade trees, visits from urban wildlife (raccoons, skunks, squirrels, opossums) and their choices of plants and other materials. This year, Toronto Master Gardeners will be present in some gardens.The ticket contains a map that locates the gardens on this year’s tour. Park and walk. Start and finish anywhere along the route as there is no “official” circuit. Balloon bouquets and volunteers will help guide you. In addition, enjoy special offers to ticket holders from local shops and eateries.Tickets cost $15.00 and are sold at various outlets in Cabbagetown and several garden centres in the city.
