BEYOND THE GARDEN GATE: AN INVITATION TO A STATE-WIDE GARDEN TOUR                                

This year, there is an especially exciting opportunity for garden lovers. In honor of our nation’s 250th anniversary, GCFP (Garden Club Federation of PA) is hosting the first-ever Pennsylvania garden tour, showcasing private residential gardens across the state. 

The PA Garden Party will feature 90 gardens statewide on Saturdays, June 20 and June 27, 2026, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. rain or shine.  For a full listing of the garden clubs participating across the state, visit https://pagardenclubs.org/gcfp-2026-garden-party.  Below are the local participating clubs:

  • June 20: Gardens from The Garden Club of Bala Cynwyd and the Villanova Garden Club will be featured along the Main Line (Montgomery County). Springfield Garden Club (Delaware County) will also participate.
  • June 27: Chester County will be featured, with gardens from the Spade and Trowel Club of Kennett Square and the Uwchlan Garden Club with gardens in the West Chester/Downingtown area. Uwchlan will also host local garden writers for book signings—you may even encounter Pam Baxter, local garden writer, author, and columnist, or Jenny Rose Carey, noted garden writer and speaker.
    On the same day, the Norristown Garden Club will open members’ gardens spanning from Ambler to Malvern.

A $25 ticket includes a tour book—your admission to all participating gardens on both Saturdays. The book includes the garden descriptions, addresses, maps, and GCFP information.

Tickets are available March 1 through June 6, 2026, via check or credit card at pagardenclubs.org. After June 6, tickets will be $30 and available at designated gardens listed on the website.
