Tour attendees will visit an array of lovely gardens.
The 2026 Garden Inspirations Tour, presented by the Wellington Garden Club, will be held on Saturday, March 21 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This exclusive self-guided walking tour of six local private gardens held every two years is a unique opportunity for garden lovers to visit gardens that are open to the public for one day only.
Come and be amazed at spectacular landscapes, including a garden featuring orchids, another one that is designed with native plants, as well as butterfly gardens, and shade gardens. In several gardens, there are examples of how to incorporate whimsical garden art and hardscape to enhance the landscape.
Two gardens of special note are an equestrian estate, home to champion Clydesdale carriage horses, and a manicured formal garden reminiscent of an English garden overflowing with the magnificent beauty and heady aroma of roses, foxglove, delphinium, lavender and more.
“This is an exciting opportunity for tour attendees to gather inspiration for their own gardens as they take a leisurely stroll through the wonders of this year’s Garden Inspirations,” tour co-chair Carol Ralph explained.

In addition, there will be several raffle items, including a chance for one lucky tour attendee to win a carriage ride with the champion Clydesdales and their owner.
