Newport Beach Garden Tours 

The 26th Annual Newport Beach Garden Tour, hosted by the Sherman Library & Gardens’ Volunteer Association, is happening virtually again this year.  Get ready to view some spectacular gardens that otherwise might not be part of a ‘traditional’ Garden Tour.  

Three Garden Tour videos will be released throughout the summer, beginning on Mother’s Day, leading up to the Summer Garden Party on Saturday, August 27th at Sherman Gardens.

Our first Garden Tour video features La Casa Pacifica, a classic California beachfront mansion (also known as President Richard Nixon’s Western White House).  Special access to this historical home was granted to Sherman Library & Gardens by the homeowners.   The La Casa Pacifica video will make its debut on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 8th and like all three Garden Tour videos that are part of this year's Tour, they will be available to watch and re-watch at your leisure, from the comfort of your home.
