Tickets Now on Sale for the 2026 Sooke Secret Garden & Artisans Tour

Garden lovers, art enthusiasts, and curious explorers alike are invited to stop and smell the roses this June at the 2026 Sooke Secret Garden and Artisans Tour.

On Saturday, June 6 and Sunday, June 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., ten beautiful private gardens across the Sooke and East Sooke region will open their gates to the public for a weekend of inspiration, creativity, and community spirit.

Visitors will have the rare opportunity to wander through a diverse range of carefully cultivated gardens, each offering its own unique design, plant collections, and clever landscaping ideas. Along the way, guests can also discover local artisans, studio tours, and live music featuring performers from the Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus.

Now firmly rooted as the largest annual fundraising event for the Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus, the tour supports local music and arts programming. Last year, nearly 400 visitors helped raise $15,000, helping the orchestra and chorus continue to grow their performances and educational initiatives.

Whether you're a seasoned gardener, an art lover, or simply looking for a beautiful way to spend a weekend, the tour offers plenty of opportunities to dig into inspiration and perhaps even plant a few new ideas for your own garden.

Tickets are now on sale, and organizers encourage visitors to secure theirs early for this popular community event.
