Princeton Garden Tour

Tour will take place rain or shine.

Purchase Tickets!

Presented in partnership by the Historical Society of Princeton and Morven Museum & Garden, this self-guided tour invites guests to explore the historic landscapes of both institutions—alongside rare access to private gardens not typically open to the public.

From formally structured grounds to intimate, nature-forward retreats, the curated selection of gardens showcases the breadth of Princeton’s horticultural character. Guests will encounter thoughtfully designed gardens that balance beauty with environmental stewardship, as well as creative approaches to hardscaping, native species, sustainable plantings, and seasonal color. Each stop offers fresh ideas and practical inspiration—often found just beyond your neighbor’s gate—demonstrating how landscape design can reflect both personal style and a deep sense of place, all while supporting two pillars of local history and preservation.
