Dramatic coastline views, flowers in full bloom, musicians filling the afternoon air and artists creating original masterpieces were all part of the scene at the May 19 Secret Garden Tour, hosted by the La Jolla Historical Society. The tour featured a variety of gardens, some ethereal and understated, others grandiose and majestic — all secluded from the public eye during the rest of the year. Guests wandered among succulent arrangements and tropical blooms as they ogled lavish al fresco dining areas and sweeping views of the coast. What began 14 years ago with the goal of raising public awareness for the historical society and its preservation efforts has turned into a beloved and much-anticipated event attracting thousands of guests and generating financial support for the La Jolla Historical Society’s goal of discovering, collecting and preserving La Jolla’s heritage.
