About This Event
The Riverside Avondale Preservation YARDEN Tour returns on Saturday, May 11, from 10am to 4pm. This 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. Many will include live music, refreshments, raflles, workshops, vendors, 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–perhaps with Mom for Mother’s Day!
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 your first stop, you will show proof of ticket purchase or purchase tickets onsite. You 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 a.m. - 4 p.m. and make your own route!
GUIDED BIKE TOUR FROM ZENCOG LEAVES AT 11AM FROM THE BUCKLAND HOUSE, 2623 Herschel St., RAP Offices. Please arrive 15 min early to sign a waiver and meet your guide.
