Garden Journeys Open Days 2025 is over!
With over 40 gardens open and free to visit, there was lots to see at this year’s event. Great conversations and new ideas were shared between host gardeners and visitors. There is always more to learn about eco-friendly gardening and plants native to our
ecoregion.
Many thanks to the host gardeners, the coordinating team, to all the visitors, and to everyone from Halton Region Master Gardeners who contributed their ideas and energy. This biennial event will be held again in 2027 and we look forward to seeing you all!
2025 Garden Journeys Reflections & Gallery
“Sharing my garden with local community members and promoting native gardening within my neighbourhood. Visiting other, more mature gardens and gaining inspiration.”
“Connecting with native plant gardeners in our community and sharing knowledge with visitors who are just getting started.”
“I really enjoyed Garden Journeys Open Days for a few reasons. It was such a good chance to connect with other native plant gardeners and trade stories, tips, and even seeds or plants. I also loved chatting with more traditional gardeners who were curious about the benefits of native plants—it felt great to share what I’ve learned. On top of that, it gave me the perfect excuse to get my yard looking its best, and I walked away with plenty of fresh ideas for next year’s garden.”
“Meeting gardeners who were just beginning to add native plants to their gardens. Exchanging ideas “
“Talking to people about biodiversity!”
“So nice to connect with gardeners passionate about native gardening. I learned something from gardeners who visited me and who I visited! Made a new gardening friend.”
