Each year, the Creative Arts Group curates tours of remarkable gardens in LA’s foothill communities. This year, the Art of the Garden Tour will showcase a fanciful contemporary garden in Pasadena.

A varied and vibrant front garden features the owners’ collection of rose bushes, wrapped in sun-loving native sages and succulents. Paths through the garden lead to a serene, shaded patio adjacent to the front doorstep.

The back, which began as a sun garden just a few years ago, is now a deeply shaded delight with several outdoor rooms to explore. The al fresco dining area sits center stage, with a table frequently set for meals of farm-fresh herbs and veggies from the adjacent edible garden. From the dining patio, this alumroot lined fire pit patio is just a short stroll, as is a lovely spa wrapped in a wall of candles.

Please save the date to join us in this magical space!

Date:  Tuesday and Wednesday, April 9-10

Time: 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm

Location:  Malibu (9th) and Calabasas (10th)
