Celebrate the 13th Annual Music in the Gardens Tour!
Summer brings a celebration of the garden to the peninsula. A full day of beauty and discovery awaits as the most beautiful private gardens, set on the ocean, the bay and plots in between, open to visitors.
Linger in each of the intimate garden landscapes to enjoy refreshments and small bites, listen to the sounds of live music, view artworks, and meet new friends, guest artists, and the gardeners.
A rare opportunity that also celebrates Water Music Society’s 35th Anniversary!
