Don’t miss this incredible Tour, long considered one of BC’s top horticultural events. This year features the renowned home and garden of award-winning broadcaster and writer Des Kennedy, as well as eleven other glorious rural properties.
The Globe and Mail has called Denman Island “a 5-by-10 kilometer swath of horticultural gems.” After a four-year hiatus, Denmanites are ready to throw open their garden gates, inviting the public for a rare up-close look at the creativity, skill and passion they pour into their properties.
The gardens are accomplished, imaginative, and full of variety — lush blooms; tranquil ponds; artisanal stonework; hand-crafted arbours; permaculture practices; and stunning ocean views. The houses offer exquisite craftsmanship, innovative design, inspired use of local materials, and unique island touches.
This weekend event provides an unforgettable experience for lovers of gardens, homes and rural living. Many people return year after year from all over Canada and around the world, and are never disappointed.
