For more than two decades, hundreds of garden enthusiasts have visited Downtown Frederick for the opportunity to explore the elegant, whimsical, and inventive gardens nestled behind the gates of private Frederick homes each spring.

A favorite of residents and visitors alike, the Beyond the Garden Gates Garden Tour has grown to draw over 800 visitors annually and raises thousands of dollars for local garden clubs and beautification projects around Frederick.

In addition to the the stunning landscapes, visitors are treated to a variety of discounts from downtown Frederick retailers and restaurants. Guests are also invited to visit our Hospitality Center to rest and enjoy some light refreshments during the tour.
