Fitchburg's Agora Pavillion To Be Central Location For Olbrich's Garden Tour | Events

The Agora Pavilion is this year’s Tour Center for Olbrich Botanical Gardens Garden Tour. The pavilion will be a one-stop location for restrooms, refreshments, gift shop items, and parking.

It’s also the main trolley stop between the Agora Pavilion, HospiceCare, Inc., and a private home garden.

The Agora Pavilion is located at 5500 E. Cheryl Parkway in Fitchburg -- look for the large, white tee-pee shaped structure.

Delicious pastries and box lunches are available for purchase from the Doc Rock Café. Assorted bakery items will be available and lunch options include salad and sandwich selections, as well as coffee, iced coffee, iced tea, bottled water and lemonade.

Olbrich’s Growing Gifts shop will also have a limited selection of general garden items including hats and visors.

A free trolley service will transport Home Garden Tour patrons between three sites – HospiceCare, Inc., the Tour Center at the Agora Pavilion, and a home garden in Fitchburg. Parking is not allowed at HospiceCare, so patrons should park at the Tour Center/Agora Pavilion and take the trolley to the HospiceCare garden site.

Trolley service will run continuously during tour hours on Friday and Saturday. Visitors will travel on their own to the other gardens on this year’s tour.

Pre-tour tickets are $10 for Olbrich Botanical Society members and $12 for the general public. Pre-tour tickets are available at the Growing Gifts shop at Olbrich Botanical Gardens, Klein’s Floral and Greenhouses and all Felly’s Flowers locations.

Tickets the day of the tour are $12 for members and $14 for the general public.
