2024 Oakwood Garden Club Tour

Historic Oakwood 35th Annual Garden Tour 

The Oakwood Garden Club is excited to continue the 35th annual Oakwood Garden Tour and this year’s pollinator-themed Fascinator & Boutonniere Making Experience. 

On Saturday, April 27th, and Sunday, April 28th, guests will enjoy a self-guided walking tour featuring Historic Oakwood’s fabulous gardens. Please be prepared to walk approximately 1.5 miles and wear appropriate footwear. Garden hats are always encouraged! 

We can’t have an Oakwood Garden Tour without confections! Iced tea will be served during the walking tour in select gardens along with a few sweet and savory treats from local businesses.

This year's add-on Fascinator/Boutonniere Making Experience is pollinator themed and we can't wait to celebrate these amazing insects and plants by making one-of-a-kind headpieces and debonair boutonnieres! (Did you know, without pollinators, we’d have no blueberries, chocolate, peaches, vanilla, almonds or many other foods and beverages we enjoy?

This year’s fascinators will feature a festive headpiece made up of faux flowers, greenery and a special pollinator of your choice, attached to a headband. We have something for everyone! Boutonnieres can be fashioned from the same selection of materials. If you made a fascinator or boutonniere with us in the past, you know how much fun it is. Come join us again and add to your collection! Or if you haven't done it before, we can get you started!
