Olbrich's 2014 Home Garden Tour visits University Heights, one of Madison's first suburbs. For its diverse collection of architecturally important homes, the district has been named to the National Historic Register.

You are invited to visit seven exceptional gardens. Homes include some of the oldest in the district, as well as modern construction that echoes vintage architectural details. Plantings range from ancient Camp Randall oaks Home Garden Tour to the newest perennial cultivars. Garden structures include an authentic Japanese teahouse. Talk with homeowners, landscape designers, Master Gardeners, and other Olbrich volunteers, and learn some of the techniques employed by the artists and gardeners who pay homage to this historic community.

The total distance between garden sites is 1.5 miles making the tour very walkable!! Enjoy a variety of delicious lunch options at The Froth House, a neighborhood coffeehouse, featuring a lush outdoor patio for dining!
