Through the Garden Gate: Riverdale
The 21st annual self-guided walking tour highlights over 25 private gardens in Riverdale. The gardens of Riverdale are as diverse as the residents. You'll see everything from tranquil, flowering Japanese-type gardens to English cottage-style gardens featuring a riot of colours and shapes - and everything in between. Many of the gardens are small, so full advantage is taken of every bit of space.
Saturday & Sunday, June 14 & 15, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Public $40 / TBG Members $35
