Fergus garden tour promises to be inspiring, motivating, magnificent

FERGUS – While many gardeners are still deep into planting, weeding and sprucing up their property for the summer, some local gardeners are ready to put theirs on display.

The Fergus and District Horticultural Society has found five such gardens, and if previous garden tours are any indication, these will be chock-full of stunning views, unique plants and ideas that will inspire and motivate.

The 2026 garden tour is slated for June 28 from 12:30 to 4:30pm, rain or shine.

It’s a self-guided tour that takes visitors into the backyards of some very special properties.

This year’s tour includes:

– 74 Duncan Ct., Fergus;

– 125 St. George St. E., Fergus;

– 725 Dianne Cres., Fergus;

– 495 Anderson St. S., Fergus; and

–319 South River Rd., Elora.

Brochures, including a map and description of each of the properties, are available at each of the sites on the day of the tour, or in advance at:

– LittleTree Garden Market;

– Victoria Park Seniors Centre;

– Elora Information Centre;

– Fergus & Elora Public Libraries;

– The Centre Wellington Community Sportsplex; and

–  I Love Chocolate.

Information can also be found at fergushorticulture.ca/events.

Admission is by cash donation to the Centre Wellington Food Bank. 

Donations can be made at any of the sites.

In many cases the owners will be available to answer questions, as will horticultural society members.
