Join us for Focus on Nature's annumal Garden Party fundraiser. The Garden Party will feature a new photo exhibit by young photographers, live music, complimentary refreshments including beer & wine, a silent auction and raffle ticket prize table. 

The event is free and open to the public, thanks to corporate sponsors.

No tickets to purchase but donations to support the program will be gratefully accepted. Guests are asked to register in advance on Eventbrite.

Each year we put on a silent auction and penny sale to help raise funds for Focus on Nature programs. Over the years cash donations have helped cover workshop costs for low-income schools and send children from low-income families to camp.

This year's Garden Party will be taking place in the gardens at the Mactaggart Family Farm. The Mactaggart Gardens surround an 1850 red brick farmhouse and covers about 1.5 acres. The garden has been a work in progress since 1986 when the home was purchased by Bill and Leslie Mactaggart. The entrance of the house features two hand-assembled dry stone walls as well as Victorian-style porches and a gazebo.

Surrounding this beautiful home are the large perennial gardens featuring hostas, heucheras, daylilies, sedums, and a variety of trees and shrubs. You can also find a dedicated dahlia garden. While wandering the gardens you will find two arbours, created by Graeme Sheffield, a Guelph metal artist as well as many garden sculptures including works by Stephen Lewis and Andre Drenters. 

Previously seen on a number of Guelph and local garden tours, this is not a garden you want to miss out on.

On Wrighthaven Homes Swim days, the Township will grant free admission to the first forty (40) children and youth who arrive at the admissions desk within fifteen (15) minutes of the scheduled start time of the swim.
