Hello, Fellow Garden Lovers!
This year's East Vancouver Garden Tour is on Father's Day, Sunday, June 21st. 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.
How to get your tickets!

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. Each garden will either have the home gardener or a Master Gardener on site 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.
This year's tour will be in an area to the east and south of Figaro's and, once you get to a good starting spot (the epicentre is at about 5th and Nanaimo ), it should be comfortably walkable for most people.
