Lovers of sculptures, the arts and the outdoors in the fall - we have an interesting and educational tour for you to the Haliburton Highlands region, about 3 hours north-east of Toronto.

Our first stop will be the award winning Abbey Gardens where you will get a guided walking tour and learn about how an abandoned open air gravel pit has been brought back to life as gardens and a community hub with interpretive trails, heritage breed displays, programming and event spaces, picnic areas and more! After the tour you will have a lunch in their food hub. Lunch is included as part of the tour and options will be available for special diets. And then you will have a chance to do some exploring on your own and shopping in their store. For more information about Abbey Gardens, click here.

We then move on to the Haliburton Sculpture Forest. This unique outdoor collection is located in Glebe Park in the Haliburton Highlands. It started in 2001 as a project of the Arts Committee of the region but over the years a remarkable outdoor gallery has been created with thirty-four sculptures and six one-of-a-kind benches nestled along trails. You will be getting a narrated walking tour through the forest with local expert tour guides as they explain the history of the forest and the sculptures.

We will have restroom and coffee breaks on the way to and from the Haliburtons.
