This year's East Vancouver Garden Tour is on Father's Day, Sunday, June 15th. It's our one fundraiser for Britannia Neighbours, and the proceeds go to maintaining the Napier Square Greenway (at Napier and Commercial).

We use the money we raise to buy plants and supplies, and to pay someone to water the Greenway in the warmer/dryer months.

This year’s tour will feature about ten wonderfully diverse home gardens, both well established and newer ones.

The gardens are a mix of ornamentals, flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees. There will either be home gardeners or Master Gardeners at each garden to chat and answer questions.

To start the tour, you check in with us and pick up your map (indicating where all the gardens are and including brief descriptions of each of them) at our usual home base at Figaro’s Garden (https://www.figarosgarden.ca) at 1896 Victoria Drive.

The tour will be in an area close to Figaro's, so you will likely be able to walk to a starting spot ... and the tour itself should be comfortably walkable for most people.

Once again this year we need to limit the number of tickets we sell so the gardeners whose gardens we visit are not overwhelmed.

And we won't have tickets available on the day of the tour. You'll need to get your tickets for the tour ahead of time.

There are two ways to get tickets this year — online through Simpli Events or in person (cash only) at Figaro's Garden:

Click on photo above to get your tickets online. (There's a small Simpli Events service charge on top of the $20 for each ticket.)
Drop in to Figaro's Garden to buy tickets (exactly $20 — in person and cash only) while they last!! (You might want to call first to be sure they have tickets -- 604-253-1696.)

Tickets will be available until Saturday, June 14th or until we sell out (whichever happens first). Avoid disappointment and get your tickets early!
