Through the Garden Gate Tour

The Ewing Green Team, the West Trenton Garden Club, and Girl Scout Troop 70138 invite you on Saturday, June 11th to join us a our Through the Garden Gate Tour in which we are showcasing noteworthy Ewing Gardens!   You can visit any of 13 interesting “gardens” — from the traditional, with lovely flowers and plants, to the unique with a collection of cherished memorabilia.   Concepts such as “upcycling”, composting, naturalizing, and urbanizing are demonstrated throughout the gardens. Also, the approaches of ensuring pesticide and chemical free organic living spaces for our critical pollinators are essential as we hope to leave our world a better place for us and the future generations. We are in this “new place right here” together – no need to leave our Garden State we love!!!.

This is a self-directed driving tour and will be held RAIN OR SHINE.  We have included a map with this brochure.   Please pay / begin the tour at

Garden #1
Ewing Historic Preservation Society

The tour is being held to promote our mutual causes of beautification, sustainability, and youth development. We believe that showcasing some of Ewing’s gardens is a great way to engage more people in beautifying Ewing. It all begins with one garden at a time.  We hope that next year you will join us to show off yours!
