On Sunday, June 25th, the Wilmette Historical Society will host its 2023 Historic Garden Walk. The Society’s first Garden Walk was held during the summer of 2021, and its popularity has led to its return this year with new gardens that are sure to fascinate and inspire people of all ages.

Join us in exploring four Wilmette gardens, including the highly-acclaimed gardens of the Bahá’í Temple that have attracted visitors from all over the world since the building and gardens opened in 1953. General Garden Walk highlights include espaliered apple trees, a small greenhouse, examples of creative screening methods, interesting mixtures of both native and non-native plants, water features, and more! This is a great event for gardeners, history buffs, and for those who are just curious and would enjoy an afternoon stroll and a fun outing.

Ticket proceeds benefit the operating budget and special projects of the Wilmette Historical Museum. Beginning May 1, advance discounted tickets go on sale and are $40 for members, $50 for non-members, and $25 for high school and college students. Prices increase by $10 beginning Monday, June 19.
