This popular tour highlights superb private gardens in all their seasonal splendor. Discover the variety of plants and blooms and how each unique garden became the creation of their owner’s passion. There is plenty of inspiration to go around and lots of take-home ideas. Some tour highlights are the 90-rose bush, the drought resistant, and the state-of-the-art integrated vegetable and fruit gardens. Enjoy the soothing sounds of water from stellar fountains and see how repurposed family heirlooms add beauty and memories to a garden. Feel the tranquility as you walk through a stand of redwood trees. Visit the Sherwood Demonstration Garden with its 16-unique gardens.
