2023 DeKalb County Garden Walk

Please join University of Illinois Extension Master Gardeners at their annual DeKalb County Garden Walk.  This year's event will include seven beautiful home gardens and one educational spotlight garden located in the DeKalb, Sycamore and Kirkland areas.  Attendees visit the gardens at their own pace on a self-guided tour.  Master Gardeners will be onsite at each garden to answer questions and give guidance.  This is a rain or shine event; if rain is likely please dress for the weather and bring an umbrella with you.  Please do not bring pets to the gardens.

A wristband is required for each attendee (over 13 years old) to enter into the gardens and may be purchased for $10 each from this site (credit card or check) through July 7th.  Wristbands are also available for purchase in person through 11:30 am on the day of the event (July 15th) from the following local vendors (cash or check):
