The Ridgefield Garden Tour, Beyond the Garden Gate, will be the first town garden tour in more than 30 years, created by two Ridgefield organizations, whose goals for the town align perfectly, the Ridgefield Garden Club and the Ridgefield Historical Society.
The June 8 tour will treat guests to an insider’s view of several of the town’s most beautiful private gardens, as well as celebrate one of the most beautiful public gardens, at Ballard Park. A soirée the evening before, Hats Off to Spring!, will highlight another of Ridgefield’s glorious gardens and feature hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, music, and plenty of florals and cheer.
The Ridgefield Garden Club, founded in 1914, and the Ridgefield Historical Society, founded in 2001, both devote their energies to the town’s betterment and to connecting the town’s history to its present. The inaugural Ridgefield Garden Tour, Beyond the Garden Gate, is planned for the peak of seasonal blooms, featuring seven gardens of different sizes, styles and designs. While the homes that these gardens enhance will not be open to the public, each of the properties has a unique place in Ridgefield history, from the early 18th to the mid-20th Century.
