Newport Beach Garden Tour Tickets On Sale: Virtual for 2022

NEWPORT BEACH, CA — The 26th Annual Newport Beach Garden Tour is virtual again for 2022 — with some "spectacular" gardens, including Richard Nixon’s San Clemente "Western White House" — that otherwise might not be part of a traditional garden tour, according to organizers.

Hosted by Sherman Library & Gardens’ volunteer association, three garden tour videos will be released leading up to an in-person "Summer Garden Party" Saturday, Aug. 27 at Sherman Gardens in Corona del Mar.

Garden tour video #1, debuting Mother's Day, May 8, features a special peek at La Casa Pacifica, Nixon's "Winter White House" in San Clemente.

Garden tour #2, focusing on historic homes and gardens of Balboa Island, will be available Father’s Day, Sunday, June 19.

The third virtual tour highlights the W. Parker Lyon House in Pasadena — a 1948, mid-century modern home, designed by architect Thornton Ladd, who pioneered “Pasadena” or “USC style” modernism, organizers said. Viewing for this video begins Aug. 1.

The three, garden tour videos will culminate in a grand finale — in-person "Summer Garden Party" on Saturday, Aug. 27.

The event, hosted 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Sherman Gardens, will include such highlights as :

• Artists painting and selling their art;
• "Inspired by Nature" summer art exhibit by mosaicist Irina Charny;
• Garden Party Hat Contest & Bouquet Bar;
