Auxiliary Summer Garden Tours

The 2013 Auxiliary Garden Tours marks the 29th anniversary of the premiere garden tour in the Twin Cities. 

The Auxiliary will host their 29th annual Private Garden Tours on July 14, 16 & 17, 2013. Guests travel on board luxury air-conditioned motor coaches. Each garden will have on hand representatives from both the Auxiliary and the homeowners to answer your questions and share their experiences creating their lovely gardens. This is truly the crown jewel of regional garden tours.

The tours will take place regardless of the weather. Each tour lasts approximately 3 hours. Please wear comfortable and sensible shoes. All tours are led by knowledgeable guides on luxury air-conditioned motor coaches. Unfortunately, our destination gardens and coaches cannot accommodate those with special needs, including wheelchairs, walkers, etc. Tickets will be sent to only the first name on the registration form. Each guest must show their ticket to board the tour bus and eat lunch. Absolutely no exceptions! No separate admission to the Arboretum is required. Please show your tour ticket at the Gate House. Reservations are limited.

All proceeds go to support the work of the Arboretum.
