Since
its inception, the Friends of Maplelawn Garden has been an ad hoc group of individuals established to
aid in the rehabilitation and maintenance of the garden
portion of a National Historical Site, which includes
both the house and the walled-garden.

Tours
/ Events
The
garden is always open without charge for quiet enjoyment
by individuals, families and friends. Tours are sometimes
available, and small groups may like to organise their
own visits, after checking for a suitable date. Weddings
and photoshoots will usually need a permit, for which
there is a modest charge.
Please provide complete contact information with any email for Events Bookings: Name, address, day and evening phone numbers.
Please
contact Gail McClemens for events bookings
in the Garden at 613-729-5278, or by email.
Fundraising
Sunday
morning is when most of the work is done in the
garden, so if you want information about Maplelawn,
or to check if there are plants for sale, that's
the best time to visit. Otherwise it's open from
dawn to dusk without charge, for "quiet enjoyment".
Donations are always gratefully accepted in the
donation box at the garden entrance.
Some plants will be available every Sunday
morning from the mid point of the season and to
the end.
The
Friends of Maplelawn Garden would like
to sincerely thank Suncor Energy Inc. for
their ongoing support.
