Held this July 12-13 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., attendees can take a free trolley making stops at various garden spaces and local taverns. The tour begins at neighborhood favorite, Club Lucky, where horticulture admirers can enjoy lives music along with food, drink and wine-tasting specials.

Maps and guidebooks are available for $10 donation for those deciding to be their own tour guides. All proceeds benefit the community and in the past have helped fund greens spaces and gardens at Drummond Montessori School and the Bucktown-Wicker Park Library.

Club Lucky is located at 1824 W. Wabansia Ave.
