Twin Cities Pond and Landscape Tour

Welcome to the two best weekends of summer, where you can gather ideas for outdoor living spaces, talk to water gardening experts about an exciting hobby and help fight childhood cancer by making a free-will donation. It's your once-a-year chance to explore backyards all across the Twin Cities and Rochester - and this year it's free!

Although we are not charging admission we are accepting free-will contributions. A donation of $10 or more per person is suggested and can be made securely via this website or at tour sites. Please give what you can. 100% OF YOUR DONATION WILL BENEFIT OUR TOUR CHARITIES, Children's Cancer Research Fund & Minnesota Water Garden Society.

Through 2007 this tour had generated over $171,000 for Children's Cancer Research Fund. These funds have been multiplied tenfold by grants and have resulted in great advances in cancer treatment. Every dollar we raise brings us closer to a cure. To get started, browse the Tour Guidebook on this website and print out pages with directions for the sites you want to visit each weekend.
