The Mill Hill Garden Tour Now in its 19th year, the Mill Hill Garden Tour features some of the region’s best examples of urban and small space gardening. This year's tour will take place on Saturday, June 12, 2010, from 12-5 p.m., rain or shine. You can buy tickets online! This year’s theme is “Summer in the City.” The tour will showcase Mill Hill residents’ private entertaining spaces and highlight the neighborhood and the city of Trenton. The tour also will include an "Artist's Alley," featuring a variety of artistic creations. The nearby 1719 William Trent House, one of the finest early Georgian-style houses in the Delaware Valley and now a city-owned museum, will be open for tours. Garden Tour ticket holders can tour the Trent House for free (a $4 value) during Garden Tour hours, and are invited to visit the grounds, which include a colonial-era kitchen garden. |

Tickets Tickets are $10 in advance, or $15 on the day of the tour. Even if you bought your ticket in advance, you'll need to register at "tour central" at Artworks, 19 Everett Alley at South Stockton St. There you'll get a map of the tour gardens, which doubles as your admission ID. Advance tickets for the Tour can be purchased from a number of vendors in Trenton and elsewhere in Mercer County (see list below). You can also buy them online! Group discounts are available if purchasing 10 or more tickets. Call 609-815-1359, or send email to info@trentonmillhill.org. Don't send credit card details in your email, as it's not secure. A representative of the Tour will call you back. | Garden Tour Sponsors include:

Parking and Directions See the map below to find Artworks, which has ample free parking (Stockton Street, between Market and Front). If you're coming from the North on US-1 South, it's at the bottom of the Market Street Exit Ramp (which is signposted to the Train Station). After you park and register, it's a quick and lovely walk along Assunpink Creek to the start of the tour. Free parking will also be available at The Trent House and a shuttle will run between the Trent House and the Mill Hill Playhouse, a very short walk from the start of the tour at Artworks. |
