This Saturday, June 29th, from 10 AM to 4 PM, immerse yourself in the beauty and history of the Pullman gardens. The Historic Pullman Garden Club warmly invites everyone to their annual Garden Walk. Experience the charm of this historic community through guided and self-guided tours of both public and private gardens.

Over 140 years ago, renowned landscape architect Nathan F. Barrett (1845-1919) laid the foundation for what has become a stunning legacy. Today, the residents of Pullman continue this tradition with bold and creative expressions that enhance the neighborhood’s historic charm.

During the Garden Walk, you will have the opportunity to explore nine exceptional gardens. These include some of the finest homeowner gardens, exquisite arrangements at historic Pullman buildings like the Pullman Club Coffee Shop, and a rejuvenated community space at Gateway Garden.
