For more than two decades, hundreds of garden enthusiasts have descended upon Downtown Frederick for the chance to explore the elegant, whimsical and inventive gardens nestled behind the gates of private Frederick homes each spring.

A favorite of residents and visitors alike, the Beyond the Garden Gates Garden Tour has grown to draw over 800 visitors annually and raised thousands of dollars for local garden clubs and multiple beautification projects around Frederick.

In addition to the the stunning landscapes, visitors are treated to a variety of discounts from downtown Frederick retailers and restauranteurs, as well as a Hospitality Center where guests are invited to enjoy some light refreshments during the tour.

Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 on tour days.
