Local garden tours are a must on my holidays!! They offer a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the beauty of nature right in your own community. These tours provide a glimpse into the creativity and dedication of local gardeners, showcasing a wide variety of plants, flowers, and landscaping techniques.
This year we were on route to Killarney- but an issue with our Boat had us detour to Killbear - just north of Parry Sound.
Making the most of the new area we got to explore // I tracked down a local gem of a garden.
Tower Hill Heritage Garden. This garden not only has have beautiful plants to behold - but also a fire tower you can climb to take in the breathtaking views of Parry Sound harbour over Georgian Bay.
