Denman Island Home and Garden Tour

The Denman Island Home and Garden Tour is back for 2009!

This year's Tour will take place a whole month earlier than usual, May 9-10.

This is the perfect chance to gain inspiration for designing your dream property, as the beautiful West Coast homes and majestic gardens of Denman Island are put on exhibit.

Innumerable varieties of fragrant roses and colourful perennials, carefully integrated into superbly crafted gardens, highlight the Tour. You will have the opportunity to speak with the creators of these living works of art about their experiences designing and building their homes and gardens, and the sometimes humorous trials and tribulations of island life. This
unbeatable summer attraction is Denman Island's most
popular annual event—don't miss it!

The benefit tour brings out the very best of Denman's gardens, hospitality and charm. All proceeds are given to the Denman Conservancy Association, and this year's donations will go toward the the preservation of natural areas on Denman Island. Events such as the Conservancy Denman Island Home and Garden Tour assist with raising funds and help make conservation efforts on the island possible.

Important Notes:

  • While some properties are close together, many are several kilometres apart. Therefore, doing the Tour on foot is not recommended.
  • There is no public transportation available on Denman Island, so you'll want to come by vehicle or bicycle. Cyclists will have the benefit of a more intimate view of our island, but will likely not be able to take in all the properties on the Tour.
  • Larger groups are encouraged to travel to Denman in vans or minibuses.
  • Please carpool if you can! Carpooling saves money (especially on ferry costs), and is better for the environment. Plus, it's fun to do the Tour with friends!

Wholesome food and scrumptious desserts will be available all weekend at the Denman Island Community Hall, providing a "downtown" Denman location to relax and fortify before your next stop on the Tour.
