It's time for the DeKalb Master Gardeners Annual Garden Walk in DeKalb County! This year, seven home gardens and one educational spotlight garden are featured in this walk, located in DeKalb, Sycamore, and Genoa. Attendees visit the gardens at their own pace on a self-guided tour. Master Gardeners will be on-site at each garden to answer questions and give guidance. This is a rain or shine event; if rain is likely, please dress for the weather and bring an umbrella with you. Please do not bring pets to the gardens.
A wristband is required for each attendee (over 13 years old) to enter the gardens and may be purchased online at go.illinois.edu/2025GardenWalk for $10 each (credit card or check) through Saturday, July 5th. Wristbands ordered from this site may be picked up at the DeKalb County U of I Extension Office (1350 W. Prairie Drive, Sycamore, IL 60178), or we can mail them to the address you enter into this registration. You will have an opportunity to choose which option you prefer during online registration. A list of all the garden names and addresses, and a map, will be included with your wristbands.
Wristbands are also available for purchase in person from Monday, June 16, through 11:30 am on the day of the event (July 12th) from the following local vendors (cash or check): DeKalb County Extension office, Blumen Gardens (403 Edward St in Sycamore), Glidden Florist (917 W Lincoln Hwy in DeKalb), or The Garden Market (2270 Oakland Ave in Sycamore).
