10 am to 5 pm

This self-guided tour of island homes and beautiful coastal gardens will give you an unforgettable taste of island life. Some sites on the tour feature beautiful gardens, some feature unusual or interesting homes, while some of our hosts graciously open both their homes and gardens to tour guests.

To reduce vehicle congestion, we encourage you to carpool with others, and to begin your tour at any site on the list. The sites and road names that you need to find your way to each site are marked on the map on the ticket.  Please park on the road, unless directed otherwise, and avoid turning around in neighbours' driveways.

In consideration for our hosts, please leave your pets at home and remove your shoes when you enter a home (we suggest you bring along easy to remove footwear). Volunteers will direct you to the areas of the property that are open to view. Please, no smoking or indoor photography.  This tour involves walking down rural driveways and on uneven ground. We regret it is not wheel chair accessible.

Organized by People for a Healthy Community to benefit the Emergency Food Depot, Soup Socials, Christmas Bureau, seniors' Dragon Garden and other community support programs and services on Gabriola Island.
