Experience the charm of old Mill Valley at its finest! Sip and stroll with your souvenir glass through seven magnificent gardens, each paired with a special beverage for your enjoyment.

This year, all the gardens are within one mile of the OAC—walk, bike, or hop on a trolley car to explore our picturesque downtown. Indulge in a Champagne Tea in the OAC Main Hall, with three seatings available. Purchase a table for eight and share the experience with friends.

Don’t wait—one time slot has already sold out! Enjoy live music, bid in the silent auction, and visit the “Ask an Arborist” booth on the patio, along with other surprises. 

In honor of its 30th Anniversary, the Garden Tour is celebrating the rich history of Mill Valley and its connection with the Outdoor Art club, going back to the club’s beginning. 

Seven unique gardens will be on display, featuring century old gardens, several of whose histories are intertwined, including “Burlwood,” the historic estate of Mill Valley’s founder Joseph Eastland. The other six gardens are the Tudor Revival Secret Garden, the Architect’s Working Estate, the Meditative Zen Garden, the Tranquil Redwood Retreat, the Grand Outdoor Wonderland and the Sprawling Victorian Summerhouse.
