We trundled off to the town of Milton for the afternoon today for the Secret Gardens of Milton garden tour. This tour is organized by the Milton & District Horticultural Society and features 8 gardens. For those not from these parts, Milton is a town just NW of Toronto.

Sean James created this clever rainwater system in his Milton garden

They published a very professional booklet – each booklet was a ticket. The cost for this tour was $15 per person. It featured 5 gardens in town and 3 in the country, and there was quite a range of garden ideas at work. Some of the proceeds from this tour will go twards a “Serenity Garden” at the Milton District Hospital, as well as supporting other activities of the non-profit Horticultural Society.

Here’s a collage of photos we snapped in the gardens.
