Do we walk or drive between garden sites?

You will need to drive between each of the gardens.

Can I bring my child?

This event is best suited to children over the age of 12. And they would be expected to have a ticket. There are safety hazards (pools, stones, ponds) and children often do not understand that they should not walk in flower beds or pull/pick the flowers our homeowners generously allow patrons to view. That said, younger children can accompany parents but MUST be carried or held by the hand AT ALL TIMES. No strollers. Please do not make our gardeners or Club Members feel called to intervene; your understanding and courteousness in this manner is appreciated.

Do I have to start the walk at 10:00 am?

Ticket holders can begin anytime between 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. - Keep in mind, the walk can take a couple hours or more to complete, especially if you spend time chatting with owners.

Can I pick up my online tickets before Saturday, July 19?

Online ticket pickup is only ON THE DAY OF THE WALK, at Spring Lake Park, 49 Oxford Drive, Lincolnshire between 10:00 am and 2:30 pm.
