About Garden Tour
Immerse yourself in the beauty of some of the most stunning private gardens in the area at LACASA’s 26th annual Garden Tour. This cherished event, now in its 26th year, offers the opportunity to stroll through meticulously curated landscapes, discover horticultural inspiration, and support local victims of interpersonal violence.
Along with access to six exceptional gardens, tourgoers can catch their breath at Petals Café, our complimentary snack and refreshment station, at the tour’s midway point. There, guests can bid on carefully curated baskets and items in the Blooming Raffle.
Eagle-eyed attendees will enjoy searching for a hidden item at each garden and complete the Stargazer Scavenger Hunt for the chance to win a bonus prize.
All proceeds from Garden Tour benefit the victims and survivors of child abuse, domestic violence, and sexual violence that LACASA serves.
Garden Descriptions
Here, you'll find descriptions of each stop on the tour so you can plan your day.
House #1 – Kuhlman Garden (178 Abby Brook Lane, Howell, MI 48843)
In 2007 Diane and David Kuhlman patiently began clearing invasive species, revealing a treasure trove of native plants like Solomon’s seal, Doll’s Eyes, and Blue Flag Iris. They unearthed a more than 80-year-old hay rake, a charming relic now part of the landscape.
Terrain: Many sloping, wood-chipped paths; some spots uneven with exposed roots.
Parking: On-street parking
House #2 – Fitzpatrick/Berry Garden (4066 Proceeds Drive, Pinckney, MI 48169)
Stretching over one-half acre, this wildflower and native plant meadow was broadcast seeded from bare, sandy soil by owners Kerry and Linda after the construction of their home in 2016.
