Beyond the Garden Gates: Private Garden Tour

The beautiful gardens along McGregor Blvd. offer a level of mystique only their caretakers typically get to explore. However, on March 28th, open the enchanted garden gates for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: a private tour of these carefully curated, one-of-a-kind grounds.

This tour includes seven of the most stunning gardens around Downtown Fort Myers, followed by a reception in the historic Moonlight Garden at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates, where complimentary food and refreshments will be provided. Proceeds from the tour will go to restoration efforts to re-create the Arts & Crafts-styled garden trellis and pergola that surrounded the original 1929 Moonlight Garden.

Packets with garden locations will be distributed at 9 a.m. on March 28. Participants should meet at the Banyan Café in the Estates’ parking lot. Carpooling to the gardens is recommended. Registration is required.

Garden Tour: 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Reception: 3:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.

Cost: Edison Ford Members: $120; Regular: $150
