LCGC 2025 Tour of Gardens
LCGC sponsors the Tour of Gardens biennially on odd-numbered years. For one weekend in June, carefully chosen private gardens in Fayette County open up to the public.
The money we raise from ticket purchases is given back to the community in the form of grants to support education, public outreach, historic preservation, and civic beautification in the Lexington area.
Our next tour will be held Saturday, June 21, 2025 from 10am-5pm; and Sunday, June 22, 2025 from 1pm-5pm.
Tickets will be available for $20 beginning in May 2025 at Best of Flowers, King’s Garden Center, Michler’s, Peggy’s Gifts & Accessories, Pemberton’s Greenhouses, Springhouse Gardens, Wilson’s Garden Center Lexington, and at the gardens on the day of the tour.
