House & Garden Tour

Bexley Women's Club

Annual House & Garden Tour

Thank you to all of our supporters and volunteers for making the 2024 House & Garden Tour such a successful event! Looking forward to doing the tour again next year - keep a look out for details.

The annual Bexley House & Garden Tour is not just to show some of the amazing history and homes in Bexley, but it is also our main fundraising event for the Bexley Women's Club Scholarships.

Bexley Women's Club has awarded over 930 Scholarships totaling over $600,000 to students in the Bexley area. The House & Garden Tour is a large part of what makes this possible.
‍
Over 200 volunteers are required to staff the tour. Volunteer opportunities exist almost all year round. Whether you are a member of the Bexley Women's Club, just want to volunteer, or want to become a sponsor, your help is welcome and needed!
