A Beautiful Day for the 2025 Ridgefield Garden Tour

Visitors from across the region gathered for a vibrant weekend filled with botanical charm, gracious hosts, and the joy of exploring exceptional outdoor spaces.

The Ridgefield Garden Tour made its debut on June 8, a picture-perfect day, delighting guests with an unforgettable celebration of Ridgefield’s beautiful landscapes. With sunny skies and ideal temperatures, visitors from across Fairfield County, Westchester, New York City, Rhode Island, and beyond enjoyed exploring a curated selection of stunning private gardens.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us—your enthusiasm brought each garden to life. It was a pleasure to meet so many of you along the way.

This inaugural event would not have been possible without the incredible support of our volunteers. From greeting guests and managing logistics to serving as Garden Captains and in-garden hosts, your dedication ensured a smooth and welcoming experience for all.

We are especially grateful to the generous garden owners who opened their personal sanctuaries to share with the community. Your hospitality and spirit truly made the tour exceptional.

Our deepest thanks to presenting sponsors Anita & Nick Donofrio, premier sponsors Karla Murtaugh Homes, Purkiss Capital Advisors, and Philip & Christine Lodewick, and to all our sponsors and donors listed here. A special note of appreciation goes to Mark Riser and Harriet Hanlon for hosting the pre-tour Spring Soirée at their historic home—a magical beginning to a memorable weekend.

The Ridgefield Garden Tour was a celebration of beauty, collaboration, and community spirit, benefiting both the Ridgefield Garden Club and the Ridgefield Historical Society.

We’re already looking forward to what’s blooming next!
