The La Jolla Historical Society is pleased to announce that the 14th Annual Secret Garden Tour of Old La Jolla will be held on Saturday, May 19 2011 from 10am to 4pm.

The Secret Garden Tour in La Jolla is one of my favorite garden tours. If you are a garden lover, like me then this tour is a must. It’s La Jolla Historical Society’s primary annual fundraising event. Proceeds from the tour make it possible for the Society to care for its extensive and unique collection, create and expand educational programs to advocate the preservation of La Jolla’s heritage. The cost for the tour: LJHS members $40 and non-members $50. Events like the Secret Garden Tour enables the Society to preserve La Jolla’s special character and charm.
