The 2024 NOTL Horticultural Society Garden Tour mission is to showcase a wide selection of gardens in each of the NOTL villages and rural areas.

The NOTL Horticultural Society Garden Tour has curated a selection of nine carefully cultivated gardens, each thoughtfully designed. From vibrant flower beds to tranquil water features and meticulously manicured landscapes, visitors will have the opportunity to explore a diverse range of gardening styles and inspirations.

As an added treat, homeowners will be present to share their experiences, answer questions, and provide gardening tips. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, the homeowners' insights will ensure that you leave the tour with newfound knowledge and inspiration to transform your own green spaces.

Included in the event will be guided tours at the pollinator garden nestled within the grounds of Southbrook Winery. Situated in the heart of Niagara's wine country, Southbrook Organic Vineyards was Canada’s first certified organic and biodynamic winery, and has been using regenerative, organic and biodynamic farming techniques for over 15 years. Visitors will get a rare glimpse into sustainable winemaking practices. During the guided tours, guests can learn about the vital role of pollinators in the ecosystem while enjoying the beauty of the surrounding vineyards.

In addition to showcasing unique gardens, the 2024 NOTL Horticultural Society Garden Tour will feature a special Bonsai show, offering a distinctive view of the art of cultivating miniature trees. Bonsai, an artful presentation in a potted plant, conveys age and tranquility. Attendees can admire the intricate details of trees cultivated by Niagara Bonsai Society members, marvel at the patience and skill involved in Bonsai gardening, and gain insights into this ancient Chinese and Japanese art form.
