Sewickley Garden Tour
Sewickley Civic Garden Council’s 2024 Sewickley Garden Tour is set for June 14-15. Guests can tour the grounds of five spectacular gardens in Sewickley and Edgeworth. Keeping with the tradition, on Friday evening there will be a sampling of wine and hors d’oeuvres at each of the five gardens.
Proceeds from the Sewickley Garden Tour will benefit the SCGC, a nonprofit organization made up of the members of five Sewickley-area Garden Clubs and Sustainable Sewickley. SCGC is dedicated to civic beautification and sustainability, education on the maintenance and use of plants, and the conservation of park and public green spaces in the greater Sewickley area.
General admission tickets are $50 for the Saturday Event on June 15, which runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. A garden preview event runs from 5:30 to 9 p.m. on June 14. Tickets for this event are $65.
