GENERAL BACKGROUND
Each year in June the Carnegie Gallery runs a garden tour showcasing some of the best in the area. Established in 1993, the Garden Tour is an eagerly awaited yearly event that features a diverse selection of gardens in the Dundas, Ancaster, Hamilton area. Gardens are chosen to provide inspiration and admiration and always include personally created gardens that are tended by dedicated (and sometimes obsessed!) owners. Many gardens are artist-owned and therefore include charming quirky touches - or even the artist's own work. Others may be small town gardens or larger rural country ones, but each brings to life the vision and efforts of the owners, whether it is of a horticultural nature or is an interesting use of arbours, pathways and decks. The tour is self-driven (using maps provided by the Gallery) through the beautiful local landscape and the charming small-town streets. A special feature of the Carnegie Gallery tour is the original, frameable artwork poster that is part of the ticket price, as well as the charming tea room and free refreshments at the Gallery, where you can fill out a ballot for door prizes and view the current art exhibition. The tour is the major fundraiser for this non-profit community gallery, and we thank all of our old and new supporters.

Secret Garden Tour 2009
The 2009 Tour of Artistic Garden Retreats took place on Sunday June 14th. This panoramic photograph of the garden of David and Mary Schmidt at 78 Fleming Avenue in Dundas was taken by Carnegie volunteer Eileen Shannon. A web gallery of a selection of photos of all 10 gardens will be posted on the website soon.
Secret Garden Tour 2008
The Carnegie Gallery's fifteenth annual tour of artistic garden retreats in and around the Dundas area took place on Sunday June 22, 2008. Click on the poster image to view slide shows of 6 of the 9 gardens on the 2008 tour.
Unfortunately, a series of photos taken by Eleanore Kosydar of the garden of John and Jill Flechl at 1413 Brock Road, Strabane was overlooked. As the format of my presentation did not easily allow for a 7th slide show to be added to the intro page, I have selected four of the photos, displayed below. The sixteen-acre country setting includes woodland trails, a two-acre vegetable garden, country style flower beds, a petting zoo and a variety specialty birds. The 1895 Victorian house is also an antique store.
