Open Houses and Special Events

The Garden hosts a minimum of four special Open Houses throughout the year, featuring Master Gardeners, Plant Sales, Guided Tours, and additional activities. On our Open House dates, enjoy the garden at your own pace or join one of the Guided Tours departing at 11:30 a.m. Guides will be on hand throughout the garden to point out plants of interest and to answer questions (look for them in their pink pashminas). Admission is by donation. Dates of our 2020 Open Houses and Special Events appear on our calendar.

Sounds of Summer

Each year, the City of Surrey sponsors a free concert series in several City Parks, including Darts Hill Garden. Click here for further information on the concert series.

Plant Sales

Plant Sales are closed for the 2020 season, reopening for plants sale appointments in 2021!

Plant sales are held several times per year, during most of our Open Houses and at some Saturday Strolls. Plant sale dates can be found on our calendar. Our plant sales offer a wide selection of perennials, ferns, ground covers, shrubs, and trees at very reasonable prices and ready to be planted in your garden. These plants have been selected from Darts Hill Garden and cared for by our Propagation Team.

Art in the Garden

Photographers, painters, and multimedia artists find inspiration in Darts Hill Garden Park in all seasons of the year. The Darts Hill Garden Conservancy Trust Society supports and encourages temporary art and art making in the Garden. Several recent art events such as the 2018 and 2019 Temporary Art Exhibitions featuring the artists of the Z.inc Art Collective were very well received by visitors to the garden. The Society is also pleased to support an Artist in Residence during Garden Open Days. Claire Moore, a multimedia artist, painted and sketched as well as expanded a huge collaborative weaving project in the Upper Orchard during her 2020 AiR at Darts Hill Garden. Visitors were delighted to chat with Claire and enjoyed their hands on art making experience. For more Information about becoming an Artist in Residence at Darts Hill Garden Park please click here.
