East Vancouver Garden Tour — Father's Day!

Take your Dad on Tour! On Sunday, June 15th, visit a dozen or so private gardens as well as several public spaces that have been "greened" by East Vancouver residents. This year’s self-guided tour will take you into some of the most creative gardens in the Strathcona neighbourhood of East Vancouver. Once you arrive at the starting place for the tour, you will likely be able to walk the entire route. Tickets are $12 per person. Register early, as the tour is very popular and tickets are limited. Purchase tickets in advance at Figaro's Garden (cash only) or register in advance after May 6th through Britannia Centre, in person at 1661 Napier Street, online at britanniacentre.org, or by phone at 604-718-5800.On the day of the tour, you pick up your map at Tour Headquarters at Figaro's Garden, 1896 Victoria Drive, and then head over to Strathcona.The tour is jointly sponsored by Britannia Neighbours, Britannia Centre, and Figaro's Garden Centre.Note that most gardens are not wheelchair-accessible, children must be 12 years or older or babes in arms, and pets are not allowed.For more information, visit the Garden Tour website at eastsidegardentour.blogspot.ca/.
