The South End Garden Tour is a self-guided tour through the neighborhood, stopping at historical places, private and public gardens, and other significant spots. The South End hosts 10 of the 56 Trustees community gardens, which can be explored along the tour along with a plethora of private gardens homeowners have generously given access to for just one day!
Historically and today, these gardens have acted as community gathering spaces and growing spaces where residents have provided for their families, hosting unique cultural crops and cultivation techniques brought to the area from immigrant families. The diverse cultural history that has defined Boston’s South End has brought along with it a distinctive and stunning architectural style which can be enjoyed with the full blooming June weather, delicious food, local arts and music, fun activities, and of course, an informative tour.
The Tour is self-guided with staff, volunteers, signage, and activities placed along the way for your enjoyment.
Tickets are $35 for Nonmembers and $28 for Trustees Members.
Three time sessions will take place: 10AM-12Noon, 12-2PM, 2PM-4PM, each with unique music and activities happening along the tour.
This is the Boston Community Gardens Team’s largest fundraising event of the year and benefits the growth and maintenance of 56 community gardens across the City of Boston. By supporting us you are supporting families and community members City wide in developing green space and growing healthy food accessible to all. Thank you!
