Chapel Hill Garden TourSponsored by Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation

The Chapel Hill Garden Club presents the 13th biennial Garden Tour from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 23 and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 24, 2022. Community partners include I Must Garden; The Town of Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Department; Piedmont Feed and Garden Center; Southern States Carrboro; Wells Fargo; and Witherspoon Rose Culture.

The 2022 Tour, “Vision & View,” showcases six private gardens and the North Carolina Botanical Garden (NCBG). The gardens, ranging from historic to modern, personal to campus, mountaintop to lakeside, have been thoughtfully created by passionate, visionary gardeners with diverse properties and points of view.

"As a relative newcomer to the area, I am delighted to be part of a Chapel Hill community tradition, the Chapel Hill Garden Tour. The 2022 gardens are each truly spectacular in their own right, from the traditional and historic to brand new, modern designs. What can be found behind Chapel Hill garden gates never fails to amaze and astonish me,” said Gill Roberts, 2022 Chapel Hill Garden Tour Chair.

Tickets are $25 in advance at chapelhillgardenclub.net. Local ticket sales begin April 1, 2022 at the NCBG Gift Shop, Piedmont Feed and Garden Center, Southern States Carrboro, Wild Bird Center of Chapel Hill (Eastgate Shopping Center) and Victoria Park Florist. Tickets are $35 on Tour days. Youth 16 and under are free with a ticketed adult. Rain or shine, the Tour will go on.

Proceeds support the NCBG‘s expanding Children‘s Wonder Garden, ongoing programs at the NCBG and the Chapel Hill Garden Club's many service projects. For garden descriptions and updated tour information, visit chapelhillgardenclub.net or email [email protected].

Since 1931, the Chapel Hill Garden Club has showcased the pleasure of gardening and championed good stewardship of the environment.
