2017 Ann Arbor Garden Walk
Saturday, June 10, 10 am to 4 pm
Spring is in full bloom, and the Ann Arbor Garden Walk is right around the corner! Our 2017 Garden Walk features six private gardens, most of them relatively small in size but big on beauty. Waterfalls and ponds, hardscaping and terraces, a Japanese teahouse garden, and stunning specimen trees, shrubs, and perennials at every location will provide both new and seasoned gardeners with plenty of ideas and inspiration.
A special feature this year is the chance to walk through two of the houses on the tour -- one a proud Victorian 'painted lady' full of antiques, the other an artist's home where the garden was deliberately designed to maximize the view from indoors.
Our Marketplace of plants, handcrafted garden art, and other unique treasures will take center stage on the lovely grounds of St. Andrew's Church on N. Division Street in Kerrytown, just around the block from one of the gardens. Check out the artists and vendors on our Marketplace page, and download a Marketplace guide.
The Kerrytown location of one garden and the Marketplace poses some interesting challenges; the very popular Ann Arbor Farmer's Market is held on Saturdays from 7 am to 3 pm, and finding parking in the area during peak hours can be difficult. We want to help you plan ahead -- see our suggestions about Kerrytown parking here.
Tickets go on sale online May 1, and at local retailers May 5. Advance tickets are $15; group (8 or more) discounts are available. Retailer sales end Friday, June 9. On Garden Walk day, June 10, tickets are $20 and can be purchased at any of the gardens.

We're looking forward to seeing you in the gardens!
