ADMISSION: $20 ADVANCE • $25 AT THE GATE
Tickets available after March 15 at Dunwoody Nature Center or Wild Bird Center at Williamsburg Shopping Center beginning April 2010
Join us for the seventeenth annual Secret Gardens of Dunwoody Garden Tour benefiting the Dunwoody Nature Center, featuring five gardens in the Dunwoody and Sandy Springs communities. There’s something for everyone — including the personal small-space garden of a landscape designer and an organic food garden where you will share the gardener's passion for sustainability. The highlight of this year’s tour is an inviting journey through the gardens of Roger and Cindy Bregenzer. On these 3 acres, you will enjoy an herb garden in a fenced courtyard, a hidden garden leading to a wooded area, several outdoor living areas adorned with over 120 varieties of plants -- all surrounding a charming 1852 home and log cabin.
This is a self-guided tour, rain or shine, and you can visit the gardens at your own pace. Get together a car full of friends, or treat your mother with a ticket for Mothers Day.

Start your tour at Dunwoody Nature Center 5343 Roberts Dr.
Located at 5343 Roberts Drive, the Nature Center is a not-for-profit environmental education facility. DeKalb County Parks and Recreation Department owns and maintains the building and grounds.
This urban park is composed of 22 acres of pine and hardwood forest, wetlands, and meadows. Wildcat Creek flows through the park.
While touring the Center, take a stroll to our wetlands boardwalk where you will see our Stream Stabilization Project, which demonstrates the value of vegetative means to solve landscape dilemmas, particularly erosion of the stream banks and loss of trees.
Visit the demonstration gardens around the building, and walk the trails. DeKalb Master Gardeners, the Dunwoody Woman’s Club, the Spalding Garden Club, the Georgia Native Plant Society, and other clubs and individuals have adopted garden areas which they plant and maintain to delight and educate our visitors.
