Featuring several of Southport’s finest private gardens, this self-guided walking tour starts at the heart of Southport Village at Pequot Library. Pick up your tour map/program, browse local vendors and farms on the Great Lawn, then wind your way through a floral adventure in an idyllic seaside New England neighborhood.

Local garden enthusiasts will guide you through the most notable features of these bountiful landscapes. This year’s self-paced Garden Stroll through idyllic Southport Village features more than eight of the community’s most picturesque gardens, including a garden that has been recognized by the Archives of American Gardens at the Smithsonian Institution.

Start or finish your day with a visit to our vendor village to shop local businesses, boutiques, artisans, makers, and markets on the Great Lawn. Take your experience to the next level with a cold glass of Fleurs de Prairie rosé from our Rosé All Day tent, sponsored by Sturges Ridge of Fairfield, with wine donated by Deutsch Family Spirits. Lunch boxes will be available for purchase from Gruel Britannia – kindly order them no later than May 29. The String Busters bluegrass band will play on the Great Lawn from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
