On May 11th, the 84th annual Georgetown Garden Tour will be held. If you buy your ticket today, you get them slightly discounted at $30. Starting tomorrow the price goes up to $35. Tickets can be purchased here or on the day of the tour at Christ Church (all proceeds benefit the Georgetown Garden Club).
If you want the complete Garden Tour experience, you can pay $250, get four tickets to the tour and an invitation to a cocktail party the week before (GM will be there so come out and say hi!). Contact the Garden Club for more details.
This really is one of GM’s favorite events of the spring. It lets you peek behind the gates of some of the most impressive properties in the neighborhood. But GM also loves that they don’t just select the grandest gardens. Plenty of small plots find their way on to the map. And that proves that anyone can build a tour-worthy garden if they’ve got a backyard and some elbow grease.
Here’s a video GM made a few years ago of the event:
