Secret Gardens
Join us for the 51st annual Secret Gardens - a one-day, self-guided tour through breathtaking private gardens on Wednesday, May 14, 2025.
About Secret Gardens
Since 1975, the Secret Gardens Tour has been a vital fundraiser for the School, supporting arts, athletics, academics, and more. This beloved tradition invites the community to explore breathtaking private gardens while making a lasting impact on student experiences.
Each year, the Secret Gardens Committee selects between seven and ten unique gardens to take part in this one-day, self-guided tour and luncheon. While the geographical location of the event is known, the actual gardens are kept secret until a detailed map is sent to subscribers two weeks prior to the tour.
For more information about this year's event, please contact the Community Engagement Office at communityengagement@shipleyschool.org. For sponsorship opportunities, please contact Betsy Block '83 at bblock@shipleyschool.org.
