About this event
Join us for a chance to explore the amazing efforts of Libertyville's neighborhood gardeners. The Hidden Gems Garden Walk on Saturday, June 29th, gives an insider's look into stunning outdoor spaces hidden just behind the front gate. The Garden Walk features five exceptional gardens in our area.
Gather some friends and enjoy a special summer Saturday on this self-guided tour, driving within Libertyville to five sites. Meet the gardeners who design and create these suburban oases. Be inspired and collect ideas for your own yards. This year's gardens spotlight vegetable gardening, integrating native plants into landscape, using swathes of no-mow grass, and small and large lot landscaping.
After a very positive response to our featured artists at each garden site, we are inviting new artists to show and sell their work. See details of our Artists and their Work.
Add a stroll down Mainstreet Libertyville to shop or dine.
Proceeds from Hidden Gems fund community plantings, Libertyville Food Pantry, and a Scholarship for area students enrolled in a Horticulture/Environmental related field.
