Showings and Events – 2023

Bibler Home and Gardens is privately owned and you must contact us in advance to visit. We are open during May, July and August only (no June or September showings), and are closed on weekends (except for specific events in May).

Spring Weekends-May 13&14 (Mother’s Day), May 20&21 

Save the dates! Get ready for an explosion of spring colors after a long winter. You’ll experience hundreds of thousands of tulips, daffodils, and other spring plantings, plus the art, antiques and Persian rugs that fill the beautiful home.

On Saturday, May 13, Saturday May 20, and Sunday May 21 you can enjoy self-guided tours of the colorful gardens, complete with waterfalls, ponds, and stunning valley views. Garden staff will be on hand to answer all your questions. Inside the home, tours are also self guided, with docents available to explain the history behind the home and furnishings. Choose from an 11 AM or 1 PM start time; 90 minutes is usually ample time to explore both the home and gardens. Note: The 1 PM tour on Saturday, May 20 only features an opportunity to view the tribal weavings collection on the lower level of the home. Visitors who choose this option can expect to spend an extra 30 minutes viewing this spectacular collection of antique rugs and other weavings, made by Persian nomads in the 18th to early 20th centuries.

On Sunday, May 14 from 11 AM to 1 PM, treat someone special to our ever-popular Mother’s Day Brunch. Enjoy a delicious champagne brunch prepared by FVCC’s Culinary Institute of Montana, served inside the home where you’ll be surrounded by art and beautiful live music.
