Behind the Garden Gates Tours

Behind the Garden Gate Tours are self-paced walking tours designed, so guests may stroll leisurely through each private garden. Guides are stationed at each location to provide information about garden design, plant material, and history. Scale and proportion are deftly used to complement each house, whether it boasts a small courtyard space or a series of garden “rooms.” In addition to frequently favored plants, such as azaleas, camellias, climbing roses and tea olives, look for distinct masonry walls, wrought iron gates, parterres edged with boxwood, and water features.  $75
