The gardens on this year&#8217;s tour will be in the neighbourhood just to the west of Commercial Drive, between the Drive and Clark.<\/p>\n<p>On the day of the tour, you start at Figaro&#8217;s, check in, pick up your tour map, enjoy\u00a0coffee, juice, and goodies (by donation), and then head off to the gardens where the team from <a href=\"http:\/\/marrazzolandscaping.com\/\">http:\/\/marrazzolandscaping.com\/<\/a> will be waiting for you.<\/p>\n<p>(Note that the tour is on the same day as Car-Free Commercial Drive.

(We recommend that you sign up ahead of time to avoid disappointment. The tour is very popular, and, although we will have a few cash-only tickets available at Figaro&#8217;s on the day of the tour, tickets are limited and we have sold out in recent years.)<\/p>\n<p>Drop in to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.figarosgarden.ca\/\">Figaro&#8217;s Garden Centre<\/a>\u00a0to buy tickets (in person and cash only)\u00a0or order your tickets for the tour at Britannia Centre&#8217;s Info Centre, 1661 Napier, in person or by phone at 604-718-5800. (Note that you will not be able to register for it online this year.)<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s tour has expanded the definition of what constitutes a garden, with a tour entitled \u201cGardening Inside (and Outside) the Box.\u201d Many avid gardeners are living in multi-unit buildings with limited access to soil&#8230;or at least the kind of soil one would plant up with a tasteful variety of flowers, herbs, shrubs, and trees. Still they pursue their passion, to the visual enrichment of the community. To honour that passion, this tour in the area just west of Commercial Drive will include not only eleven traditional and modern private-yard gardens (in the box), but also creative boundary gardens around housing complexes, community-built parks and more (outside the box). Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>Important: Note that most gardens are not wheelchair- or stroller-accessible,\u00a0children must be 12 years or older or babes in arms, and pets are not allowed. Also, photos are not allowed unless you get the gardeners&#8217; permission.<\/p>\n<p>People who attend the tour will get a one-time 20% discount at Figaro&#8217;s starting on the day of the tour and through July 1 (Canada Day).<\/p>\n<p>See you there!<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ll love this year\u2019s East Vancouver Garden Tour!\u00a0It will be easily walkable, and we have lined up some delightful gardens for your touring pleasure!
