The signs are up and the banners are flying. Springtime on the Mountain Open Gardens Trail 2026 is this weekend! Six stunning, private gardens are open for three days from Friday to Sunday.
At the Garden Club’s September meeting, owners shared the stories behind their gardens. Now, they’re opening their serene havens to you. There is plenty to discover! Wander through these interesting gardens, join a teddy bears’ picnic in Adamah’s rainforest, or explore Wilmont’s blacksmithing shed and its fascinating relics from the mountain’s early settlement. Pick up a brochure at one of the gardens, from the information centre or at local businesses. Begin your adventure at any of the gardens. Be curious, as surprises await.
