Save the Date
The 32nd Anniversary of Evanston’s Garden Walk is scheduled for Sunday, June 26th, 2022.
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
Here’s a preview of just a few of the gardens:- A garden that illustrates how to make a native plant and animal habitat in one's own backyard (and in the front yard too!).
- A condominium courtyard garden where each owner takes a hand, bringing their own creative vision to the mix. Another perspective on community gardening features three two-flat buildings that have been joined by their owners into one backyard.
- An 1899 showstopper that has integrated fruit trees and raised vegetable beds with plenty of space for outdoor living, all within a block of Lake Michigan.
