Please join us for a walk in our neighborhood and explore the 100 private and public gardens which are carefully tended by our residents. The GuideBook containing the map and descriptions can be picked up for a $5 donation at our Presenting Sponsor, Club Lucky, 1824 W Wabansia. Walk to a wide variety of gardens or take the free trolley to another part of our one mile square neighborhood to begin your exploration.GardenWalkSome gardens are packed full of flowering species, others create tranquil spaces in our hectic city. Water features, ponds and koi, sculptures and rocks are all elements of these gardens. The gardeners are generous to let you see their efforts, please be respectful of the plantings. While you stroll in the neighborhood also take note of some of the other places you pass, gardens, shops, public spaces, and places to catch a bite or a beverage. We are proud of our gardens and of our community.
TreeWalk
Last year we introduced a self Guided Tree Tour to this event. It was so well received that it is now a permanent part of our event. This year’s TreeWalk includes 100 specific numbered tree locations, and an index of the species. We have added a Featured Tree of The Year. In 2010 this tree is the Catalpa. As you walk you will be able to see many examples at different stages of life and learn to identify the Catalpa.
