Auxiliary Summer Garden Tours             Garden Tours



The 2010 Auxiliary Garden Tours marks the 26th anniversary of inviting guests to tour some of the most glorious, original and private gardens in the western suburbs of the Twin Cities. 

Guests will travel onboard luxury air-conditioned motor coaches, complete with restrooms, to this year's beautiful gardens.

Unlike other garden tours, the owners of these gardens will be available to share their experiences and answer your questions during the tour. It's the perfect way to collect ideas and inspiration for your own garden. This is truly the jewel in the crown of regional garden tours.

The Auxiliary Garden Tours include brunch/lunch accompanied by live harp music, all under the canopy of trees on the beautiful Morgan Terrace. 

Plus, you can tour a fifth garden, the Arboretum, for free!
