Master Gardener Tours

The annual Cape Cod Hydrangea Festival is July 11-20, 2025

Every summer the Master Gardener Association of Cape Cod participates in the Cape Cod Hydrangea Festival, a celebration of the region's signature flowers and everything "gardens" on Cape Cod. In addition to offering a variety of Master Gardeners' private gardens to tour, we offer daily garden talks or demonstrations in a number of our gardens.

All Hydrangea Festival garden tours are $5 cash per person per garden, payable at each garden at time of entry. No reservations needed! Gardens are open from 10am to 4pm and only on the days specified in the Hydrangea Festival Guide. All tours are rain or shine, and non-refundable.

Proceeds from the Master Gardener Association garden tours benefit our student scholarships and other community education programs.

Pollinator Pathways on Cape Cod

All four of our gardens on display during Hydrangea Fest include native flowering perennials, as well as shrubs, trees or grasses. Pollinator Pathways members will be available to share the importance of gardening for habitat to support our local pollinators, including bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinating insects and wildlife. Come learn how you can be part of the Pollinator Pathway movement on Cape Cod!
