Through the Garden Gate

Saturday and Sunday, June 13 and 14, 2026
11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

One of Toronto’s largest tours of private gardens. Garden-goers will have the opportunity to visit 14 residential gardens, of varying sizes and themes, in the unique Toronto enclave of the Beaches or as some call it, the Beach. Garden seekers will also have a chance to ask questions and learn something, too! Knowledgeable Toronto Master Gardeners will be stationed in each garden and are happy to answer plant and garden design questions. All proceeds from the tour support the Toronto Botanical Garden.

Look for onsite pop-ups with musicians, neighbourhood and history experts.

This outdoor event can be enjoyed solo or with family and friends, strolling along the tree-lined streets, while skipping in and out of gardens. Come early or linger after the tour to shop or dine at one of the local restaurants in the area.
