The Riverside Avondale Preservation YARDEN Tour returns on Saturday, May 11, from 10 am to 4pm.

The special event shares the transformative nature of front yards, backyards, gardens and landscapes that are sure to give inspiration and encourage budding gardening ideas to bloom. Tour admission includes access to several properties with varying garden styles, some even featuring live music, refreshments, and activities.

All sites will have master gardeners and many will have plant experts and specialists with limited sales options. Flower gardens, vegetable gardens, native yards and beautiful backyards make this tour a great way to spend a Saturday.

General Admission is self-guided, although guided tours are available through Go Tuk’n, Art Bikes Jax, and via the Bicycle Tour led by ZenCog. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 day of event.

At the first stop, participants will show proof of ticket purchase or purchase tickets onsite. Ticket holders will be given a wristband for entry to each location and a Yarden Tour program which includes a map of all properties – gardens, parks, and yards. Music, workshops, activities, and suggested restaurants are included. Start anytime between 10 am and 4 pm.
