Save the Date – 2027 Garden Tour

Happy summer from the Bar Harbor Garden Club!

Save the date! Save Saturday, July 24 for our 2027 tour, Gardens by the Sea. We invite you to visit five stunning Bar Harbor gardens to relax and enjoy nature’s  beauty from 10 am to 4 pm.

Please note a limited quantity of timed tickets will be offered and we recommend early purchase. There will be no ticket sales the day of the event. Tickets will be made available for online purchase closer to the event date.

Our deepest thanks to Bar Harbor Bank and Trust and Plants Unlimited, our Presenting Sponsors, our dedicated planning committee, and you for making the 2025 garden tour a huge success. As we look forward to the 2027 Gardens by the Sea Tour, we are grateful for the continued generosity of all the volunteers, members, sponsors and attendees.

This biannual garden tour is the Bar Harbor Garden Club’s most important fundraiser. Tour proceeds support non-profits on Mount Desert Island that protect natural resources, address food insecurity, and foster a dedication to horticulture among youth.

We look forward to seeing you in 2027 when we promise inspiring gardens, dramatic ocean views and delicious refreshments.

More information will follow. Check back for updates.
