See and sample beautiful home and community gardens. Learn new tips. Leave these backyards feeling inspired.

Here's how it works:

A SELF-GUIDED TOUR: You buy your tickets. We give you a map. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., you and your crew take a self-guided tour of local kitchen gardens in the Black Dirt, West Milford, and Skylands regions. You choose your route.

After touring the gardens: After-Party ticketholders meet up with the gardeners and Dirt mag at for a farm-to-table after party at Meadow Blues from 5-7 p.m. to enjoy live music, top-notch hors d'oeuvres, draft beer, and wine (All included in the After-Party ticket price).

Everyone votes for their favorite gardens and prizes are awarded to the winners. We all celebrate.
