The beloved Joy Garden Tour returns to the heart of Cashiers Village this July, offering a stunning celebration of horticulture, community, and artistic inspiration. Held biennially, this signature event raises essential funds for The Village Green, a 13.2-acre nonprofit park that serves as the cultural and natural centerpiece of the area.
This year’s theme, Celebrating Hydrangeas, shines a spotlight on one of the region’s most iconic blooms. Tourgoers will explore four private gardens, each carefully curated and located just minutes from the Crossroads. These gardens are rarely open to the public and promise a truly enchanting experience filled with seasonal beauty and creative landscape design.
In addition to the tour, Benefactors will experience two exclusive events:
The Benefactor Symposium and Luncheon – This elegant gathering features special guest Mieke ten Have, renowned interior stylist and former editor at House Beautiful and Elle Decor. Mieke will share expert insights into the relationship between floral design, interiors, and timeless beauty.
Supper on the Green – Benefactors will also enjoy a sophisticated evening under the stars with curated cuisine and fellowship on the Common’s Lawn at The Village Green. This elegant outdoor affair is a highlight of the weekend.
Throughout the weekend, the Garden Shops at Lewis Hall will host 20 curated vendors offering garden accessories, plants, sophisticated clothing, antiques, and gifts. Stop by the Garden Shops located at 160 Frank Allen Road inside Lewis Hall on Friday from 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., and Saturday from 10 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.
All proceeds from the Joy Garden Tour directly support The Village Green’s mission to preserve and enhance the natural beauty, cultural heritage, and sense of community in Cashiers.
