Discover, Learn & Grow
Inspiring Gardens For Every Gardener

Do you want to walk through the gates of three private gardens and two public gardens with educational activities for ALL ages?  Then join us for the DCMGA 2026 Garden Tour!

You’ll find a lush, shaded landscape where composting turns waste into renewal, and Shade Gardening thrives beneath mature maples and oaks.

Wander through a nostalgic, neighborly space where Texas Superstars Ⓡ take center stage, Sensory Gardening invites hands-on connection, and thoughtful Tree Care shows how to grow without topping or over-pruning.

Stroll through an English-inspired retreat that teaches how Earth-Kind® Principles guide design choices, while Drainage and Soft Landings support pollinators, and see how Square-Foot Gardening makes the most of small, raised beds.

You’ll find “Digging Deeper” logo posters throughout the landscapes offering quick facts on a variety of popular garden topics like Drip Irrigation, Composting, Shade Gardening and much more! Each has a QR code linked to more detailed articles and fact sheets, allowing you to explore topics further when it’s convenient for you.

Entry to two additional gardens The Grove and Josey Ranch Pocket Prairie are free!

Visit https://www.dcmga.com/ to purchase tickets, $20 in advance or $25 the day of the event. Children 12 and under are free. The garden tours go on rain or shine. Hope to see you there!

Happy Gardening!
