The annual Dearborn Garden Walk is a great place to get inspiration for your garden. This year’s walk includes a tour of more than 20 Gold Coast gardens, ranging in style from minimalist to ornate. Five of the gardens will feature literature-inspired vignettes with furniture and accessories chosen by interior designers from local firms (SemelSnow’s theme is Paradise Lost; Soucie Horner will channel Alice in Wonderland). 1300 N. Dearborn Pkwy.; dearborngardenwalk.com.
