JOIN US FOR AN EXCLUSIVE TOUR of Montecito’s most stunning private gardens. Led by award-winning landscape architects Derrik Eichelberger and Kalie Grubb of Arcadia Studio, this progressive garden party will reveal the magic behind two unforgettable properties designed by the world-renowned firm.

Participants will engage in botanical and architectural discovery, while enjoying fine wines provided by Trippers & Askers, and a gastronomical experience by Acme Hospitality.

Guests will also enjoy special remarks by Christine Edstrom O’Hara and Susan Chamberlin, editors of California Eden: Heritage Landscapes of the Golden State. Each guest will take home a signed copy of this publication, which features magnificent Montecito properties, including Lotusland and one of the homes featured during the tour.
