Always the third weekend in June: June 17 & 18, 2011
This year's garden walk offers self-guided tours through eight incredibly diverse, high-quality private gardens in the Bloomington-Normal community, along with guided tours of Sarah Davis's heirloom garden. These gardens provide solitude and sanctuary, where one can soothe the spirit while enjoying the quiet pleasures of an outdoor retreat. Hosted each year on the third weekend in June, the Festival is a fundraising event benefiting the David Davis Mansion Foundation, which provides private support for the David Davis Mansion State Historic Site.
The community garden walk will be held Friday, June 17 from 1 to 8 p.m. and Saturday, June 18 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The walk begins on the grounds of the David Davis Mansion State Historic Site—at 1000 Monroe Dr., Bloomington—and walkers must pick up maps and programs at the mansion. The Garden Walk will be held rain or shine.
Tickets for the garden walk are $15 in advance, $18 the weekend of the event, and $7 for children ages 1-17.
