Secret Gardens of the Johns Creek Community
This event is held every other year. Saturday, May 6, 2023 was the return of the fabulous, drive-yourself and walking tour of private gardens. This rain or shine event featured an array of gorgeous private home gardens and Autrey Mill Nature Preserve. As in the past, each garden had musical ensembles or solo performers, along with visual artists sharing their skills and talents with the visitors. Volunteers were on hand at each garden to inform patrons about the gardens.
Proceeds from the garden tour support the work of Johns Creek Beautification’s projects including the purchase of public art for the city and to support a massive, citywide, daffodil planting effort to raise awareness of cancer survivorship through JCB’s partnership with CanCare and to honor our veterans by planting daffodils near The Wall That Heals in Newtown Park.

In June of this year, Johns Creek Beautification endowed a magnificent, 4000 pound metal horse sculpture to the City of Johns Creek. This remarkable sculpture by Eric Strauss, entitled “Entwined Strength,” is installed at the Bell and Boles Roundabout for the entire community to enjoy. Money raised from previous garden tours was the major funding source for this gift to the city. Read more about the sculpture here.
