2019 Ann Arbor Garden Walk(tm)
Saturday, June 8 10 am to 4 pm
Tickets on sale now!
Featuring six private gardens ranging in size from four acres to city lots, these landscapes have been shaped over decades by their owners and boast beautiful perennial and native plantings, mature trees, and fruits and vegetables. The gardens illustrate sustainability, recycling and upcycling, and methods to reduce maintenance. Ponds, waterfalls, and fountains add to the ambience of several gardens, and a ‘chasm’ at one serves as a rain garden to capture and filter water. Natural stone hardscaping, creative outbuildings, and unique, personal art make each garden a delight at every turn.
In three of this year’s gardens, local artists and vendors will offer a tempting variety of perennial plants, unique garden art, and handcrafted merchandise. A portion of Marketplace sales are donated to the event proceeds.
Visit our Garden Walk page for maps, garden descriptions and photo gallery, Marketplace Guide, and more!

Silent Auction raises $4000 for AAF&G Foundation! Ann Arbor Farm & Garden's next cycle of grants and scholarships got a huge boost May 11, when our Silent Auction for members and friends raised just over $4000 for our Foundation account -- what a wonderful result! Congratulations to Annie Gladwin, chair of the event, and the many volunteers who helped her pull it all together. In addition to the members and friends who donated items, Annie & AAF&G wish to thank these local businesses for their generosity and support.
Thank you for supporting our mission!!
