A self-guided tour through eight private gardens throughout Sanford’s Historic District and neighborhood of Mayfair.

Meander your way down tree-lined streets and admire the well preserved architecture, wrap around porches, verandas, and manicured gardens. Savor the springtime weather and be inspired for your own yard projects as you stroll through gardens overflowing with flowers, native plants, and creative landscapes.

After gathering inspiration, visit our marketplace at Centennial Park (400 S Park Ave, in front of the check in location at Bettye Smith Cultural Arts Center). There will be plenty of plants, art, jewelry, and garden-themed gifts just in time for Mother’s Day! Here you can also enjoy iced refreshments and delicious lunch options.

We think it’s the perfect way to kickoff springtime in beautiful Historic Sanford!
