Our friends at the Cabbagetown Preservation Association are again conducting their hugely successful, annual tour of Cabbagetown’s hidden gardens and private spaces. Tickets are now on sale at the locations noted below.

Date: June 8th, 2014
Time: 10 am to 3 pm
Cost: $15

This self-guided walking tour of privately owned front and backyards
showcases the creative designs of Cabbagetown’s avid gardeners. The tour
aims to inspire its visitors with imaginative solutions to many urban
challenges, such as small spaces, shade from 100 year old trees and local
wildlife – squirrels, racoons, possums, pigeons and the occasional fox or
coyote!

The tour is being organized by the Cabbagetown Preservation Association
(CPA), a volunteer group that raises money and awareness to protect the
architectural integrity and historic character of Cabbagetown. This annual
garden tour started in 2007 and has hosted as many as 700 admirers each
year!

Tickets are just $15 and may be purchased from the list of vendors below, or
through the CPA website using PayPal (cabbagetownpa.ca).
