The Secret Gardens of Cambridge, presented on alternate years, is a signature fundraising event of the Friends of the Cambridge Public Library. This special self-guided tour is held on an early Sunday in June, just as spring turns to summer. Since 2000, the Friends have been uncovering secret gardens in neighborhoods all across the city and inviting our friends and neighbors to take a peek!

The Secret Gardens tour has featured more than 200 individual gardens in Cambridge, from a hidden swimming pond in a small backyard oasis to a garden that springs to life with thousands of bulbs each year; from a woodland tree-lined front walk to guided contours of border plantings and decorative pots. Some are small and sunny, others are large or shady. Flowers, herbs, sculptures, and stones adorn the deeply diverse variety of gardens found in every nook and cranny of Cambridge.

All EventBrite ticket holders will receive a digital copy of the SGC Booklet. We will send all ticket holders an email with download instructions on Saturday June 4. Digital ticket holders are also welcome to pick up a physical copy of the booklet if they wish. Booklets will be available at the Cambridge Public Library on June 4th (10 am to 4 pm) & June 5th (9 am to 1 pm), while supplies last.

NOTE: After June 4th at 4 p.m. digital tickets will no longer be available. Tickets will be available for purchase at the main Cambridge Public Library in-person on Sunday June 5th, 9 a.m to 1p.m..
