A Rare Garden Escape in One of San Diego’s Most Iconic Neighborhoods
The La Jolla Historical Society invites you to step inside some of the most breathtaking private gardens in San Diego at the 26th Annual Secret Garden Tour of La Jolla.
This beloved event offers an exclusive chance to explore six stunning residential gardens—each one usually tucked behind locked gates and high hedges.
The tour celebrates La Jolla’s horticultural charm and showcases the artistry of local landscape designers, architects, and creatives. Each garden will be brought to life with live music, plein air painters, and elegant tablescape displays.

Two Ways to Tour
Choose between the Self-Guided Tour, where you can wander at your own pace, or upgrade to the Platinum Tour, which includes a seventh garden, a catered lunch, and transportation with docents to guide the way.

The Secret Garden Boutique Returns
Stop by the Secret Garden Boutique at Wisteria Cottage for garden-inspired gifts, artful accessories, curated plants, and a silent auction featuring one-of-a-kind items. Open to the public throughout the day, the boutique will also feature locally sourced bites for purchase, making it a perfect stop before or after your tour.
