It is not often you get to peek into some of the nation’s most beautiful (and expensive!) gardens. The residents of the Town of Ross will open its arms and gardens next weekend to benefit the Ross School.
Highlights of the tour include:
- a remarkable and resplendent rose garden with over 400 rose bushes
- a European inspired villa with an unparalleled bird’s eye view of the heart of Ross
- a timeless garden that harkens back to an era of elegant garden parties
- a romantic Victorian estate that is steeped in tradition yet updated with chic and sublime garden design.
This is one of my favorite local tours. It is fun to be a voyeur for the day and look into the backyards of stunning Ross residences. The gardens are always splendid and the weather is usually typical Marin bliss. Make it a day and enjoy an alfresco lunch (available from 11am-2:30 pm, order ahead to guarantee availability and afternoon tea from 3-5pm.
An all new Marketplace will be featured this year with vendors and educators coming together to create a delightful outdoor destination. The Marketplace is open from 9am-5pm.
