The 35th Anniversary of Evanston’s Garden Walk is scheduled for Sunday, June 22rd, 2025.
Join Us
Please join us, rain or shine, for a walk through some of the most creative, beautiful, and personal gardens Evanston has to offer. Most gardens are accessible, although steep inclines and steps do occur in some. Maps are provided.
Featuring
A sneak peek at just a few of the gardens on the Walk includes:
- A unique garden on the lakefront that has all the challenges facing any gardener plus a shoreline to maintain.
- From the very large to the very small, an exquisite tiny garden that makes the most of every inch.
- A community garden tucked away behind a manufacturing plant that delivers 7,000 pounds of produce to Evanston annually.
Also, find out how to use ecologically sound practices like native plants in your garden.
