How much walking is anticipated for the tour?
The 2025 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 9 gardens on this year’s tour; all are considered to be ‘in town’ and walkable from the Kalmia Clubhouse at 39 York Street. Seven garden sites are north of the clubhouse and two south of the clubhouse.
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 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 10:00-3:00. 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.
What if it rains?
This is a rain or shine event. Please come prepared.
