Home or Garden

Sat June 15, 2013 - Sun June 16, 2013

Spend a magical day - or a weekend getaway - touring the remarkable properties of this idyllic island. Visit architectural wonders, gardens by the sea, cozy cottages brimming with perennials, traditional farmsteads, artists' lairs, & back-to-the-land projects that show us what sustainability looks like in the 21st Century. The owners are on hand to talk about horticulture, homes & the ins & outs of life on a small rural island. Featuring the incredible garden of writer & broadcaster Des Kennedy, this Tour has been deemed "one of Canada's top horticultural events" by national media.
