Autumn Garden Tour
at Sycamore Hill Gardens
September 26, 10am-4pm

Experience the splendor of fall
with your family/household
through this outdoor self-guided
garden experience!

Summer’s Flowers May Be Fading,
But Autumn’s Glory Awaits!

On September 26, bring the family to Sycamore Hill Gardens in Marcellus for an outdoor, self-guided garden experience like no other! Stroll the lawns and paths through 30+ acres of dazzling autumn colors. Bring a picnic lunch, find a cozy spot, and soak up the afternoon sunshine by the pond.

Over the past many years, hundreds of Central New York families have wandered the spectacular private gardens of the Hanford family in Marcellus, taking in all the sights and sounds of nature in springtime at the annual Mother’s Day Garden Tour. This year, the Hanford family and Baltimore Woods Nature Center have transformed this beloved event into a fun, fall family day full of exploration and wonder around every turn.

All proceeds from the garden tour benefit Baltimore Woods Nature Center in its mission to connect people to nature through environmental education, recreation, play, and research, both at the Baltimore Woods nature preserve and across Central New York.
