How much walking is anticipated for the tour?
The 2026 tour covers approximately 3 miles. We recommend wearing sunscreen, a brimmed hat, comfortable clothing and appropriate walking shoes on the tour.
How long will the tour take?
The amount of time each person spends in a garden will vary as will the time spent in lines to enter a space, especially a smaller garden. It is anticipated the tour could take 3-4 hours.
How many gardens are on the tour?
There are eight (8) gardens on this year’s tour. Five (5) gardens are considered to be ‘within town’ and walkable from the Kalmia Clubhouse at 39 York Street. Three (3) gardens are on Music Mountain/Squad Hill, accessible by car from Alexander Ave or by walking the Russ Lambert Nature Trail from York Street. Taking the nature trail is approximately one additional mile of walking.
Can photographs be taken in the gardens?
Photographs taken for personal use are permitted in the gardens.
Is there a fee for children to attend the garden tour?
Yes, there is a fee for all attendees of the garden tour. There is no age-related price differential; there is simply a pre-sale purchase price and a day-of purchase price.
STROLLERS are not permitted in the gardens due to uneven terrain that may be within.
Where can we park in Lambertville?
It is sometimes easier to find a parking space in the blocks north of the York St clubhouse. There is also fee-based parking available at Lambertville Station on Bridge St.
Can I get a list of gardens before the tour to plan my route?
Maps are included in the program booklet which is distributed only on tour day between 10:00-3:30. They may be picked up at Kalmia Club 39 York St Lambertville.
Can I get a refund for tickets I purchased but can no longer use?
We do not offer refunds of tickets for the garden tour event.
Can I smoke while walking through gardens?
Smoking is NOT permitted in any building or outside area on the tour.
