David Davis Mansion

The best blooms and more in the Twin Cities are on display in the 20th Annual Glorious Garden Festival.  

  • Sponsored by the David Davis Mansion Foundation, the Festival is Friday, June 17 from 1 to 8 PM and Saturday, June 18 from 9 to 5.
  • Ten private gardens in the Twin Cities are on the tour, and include flower gardens, hardscape gardens, and gardens that combine flowers with vegetables. 
  • Sarah's Garden at the David Davis Mansion is part of the tour.  The historic garden was started by Sarah Davis, wife of Judge David Davis, and still contains some of the original plants.
  • The tour will go on, rain or shine.
