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 home that shows how a garden can evolve with age while preserving its beauty.
- A Monarch Waystation in a public park inspired by one man as a gift to the neighborhood.
