2010 Secret Garden Tour
This year's well-attended tour, which took place Sunday June 27, included 8 gardens in the Dundas area. There are still a few posters, with artwork by printmaker Maureen Steuart, available for sale along with posters from previous tours for $2 each.
See Annual Events - Secret Garden Tour for a selection of photos with descriptions of all of the gardens on the 2009 tour. Watch for photos and descriptions of the 2010 Secret Garden Tour, to be posted on the website in September.
Secret Garden Tour: 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.
2009 Secret Garden Tour
The 2009 Tour of Artistic Garden Retreats took place on Sunday June 14th. This panoramic photograph of the Schmidt's garden in Dundas was taken by Carnegie volunteer Eileen Shannon. Click on the image above to view a selection of photos of all 9 gardens with last year's poster featuring a fabric hanging by Carnegie artist member Lorraine Roy.
