Essex Garden Club

The Essex Garden Club fosters community through gardening, promoting stewardship of the environment, and enhancing the beauty of Essex. They organize events like the Hidden Gardens Tour to celebrate local gardens and the stories they tell.

Get ready to be part of something extraordinary at Essex Garden Club&#39;s Hidden Gardens Tour event. It&#39;s an event like no other, and we want you to be there!&nbsp; As a historic river town, The Villages of Essex have long valued beauty, stewardship, and community. Our gardens, like our town, tell stories shaped over time by care, continuity, and shared purpose. The 2026 Hidden Gardens Tour kicks off our 75th anniversary year, inviting the community to celebrate the places and people that continue to make the villages of Essex special. This registration platform is free for nonprofits. Zeffy automatically displays a 17% contribution to help cover their costs and continue to provide services to clubs like ours. &nbsp;You can opt to keep this contribution or click and chose &quot;Other&quot; to provide a custom contribution or zero for none. Ticket sales are non-refundable and the event is rain or shine.
