Annual Garden Party

Where Gardens, Community & Local Makers Come Together

What started in 2017 as a simple idea, has grown into one of our favourite annual traditions at Garden Path Homemade Soap — our Annual Garden Party.

The plan was to open the garden gates, invite people onto our property, and give them a chance to see where Garden Path Homemade Soap comes to life. It has become so much more than that! It is a day to wander through the gardens, meet local artisans, enjoy good food and music, and celebrate the wonderful community of small businesses around us.

Come for the Gardens, Stay for the Community

Our Garden Party gives visitors a chance to explore our gardens and learn a little more about who we are, what we do, and why growing and using natural ingredients is such an important part of our business model.

But the gardens are only part of the experience.

Visitors also have the special opportunity to step inside our production room and see where the magic happens! This is where we make our handcrafted, all-natural bath, body and home products. From soaps and body products to many of the other natural goodies found at Garden Path Homemade Soap, all of our products are made right here on our property.

It is a chance to see behind the scenes, learn a little about our process and discover what goes into creating the products we are so proud to share with our customers. There is something pretty special about seeing where a product is made — especially when it is made with care, natural ingredients and a whole lot of love.

Shop Local. Support Local.

Over the years, we have welcomed a wonderful collection of local artisans and vendors, each bringing their own unique creations. From handcrafted jewelry to beautiful flowers , custom metalwork, vintage clothing, artwork and pottery, there is always something interesting to discover.

And, of course, a garden party wouldn't be complete without something delicious to eat and music playing in the background. Local musicians help create the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that makes the afternoon feel like a true community celebration.

One of the things we love most about the Garden Party is the opportunity to showcase the incredible talent that exists right here in our local communities.

The Garden Party gives visitors an opportunity to shop local and support local — not only Garden Path Homemade Soap, but all of the talented makers and businesses who join us.

Capturing Garden Party Memories

In 2025, we added another little touch of fun when Enchanted Photo Booth set up a special spot on the property. It gave visitors the perfect opportunity to grab their friends, strike a pose and capture a Garden Party memory to take home.

Because while the soaps, pottery, jewelry and other treasures may go home with you, it is the memories — and the people you share them with — that make the day special.

More Than 500 Garden Party Guests

Over the years, we have grown in visitors to over 500 guests! 

Every person who walks through the garden gates becomes part of the story. Some come to shop, some come to explore the gardens, some come to peek behind the scenes in our production room, some come to listen to the music or enjoy a bite to eat, and many come simply to spend an afternoon with friends.

A Pause for Another Party

There was no Garden Party in 2026. But a very special family wedding took over our summer — and, as you can imagine, there was plenty to do!

While we missed opening the garden gates for our annual celebration, sometimes life gives you a pretty good reason to press pause. We took the opportunity to enjoy family, celebrate a milestone and make some special memories of our own.

More Than a Garden Party

For us, the Garden Party is about community, connection and celebrating local. Looking forward to seeing everyone again on JUNE 6, 2027 for the 8th Annual Garden Party!
