We are pleased to announce that the 2025 Gardens of Distinction fundraising event will take place on Saturday, July 5th! Please join us for a great day of visiting the yards of talented gardeners, along with a plant sale at Fort Whyte Alive where any remaining tickets will be available for sale on the morning of July 5th, 2025. Please note there will be no access to the gardens at Fort Whyte without an added fee. We are sorry for the inconvenience however there 13 other spectacular gardens to view.

This is Nature Manitoba's major annual fundraising event, and we appreciate your support! Thanks to our volunteers and gardeners who make this event possible.
