Excitement is in the air as we have begun planning this year's Open Garden Day, happening on Saturday, May 11th. We're eager to bring you another unforgettable experience in the picturesque neighborhoods of West Floral Park and Fisher Park in Santa Ana, California.

We're diligently nurturing the cherished traditions of Open Garden Day, with a sprinkle of new blossoms to enhance the familiar splendor.

New for This Year:

  • Explore Sooner: Gardens will be available slightly earlier, from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM, giving you more time in the morning for exploration.
  • Shuttle Route Change: To help reduce wait times, the shuttle service will cover two routes, each focusing on half the gardens.
  • Brunch from the Garden: RSVP in advance for this year's highly sought-after Garden to Table Demonstration. Space is limited.

Confirmed Elements:

  • Gardens: At least eight gardens showcasing unique landscapes, innovative gardening techniques, and a variety of tranquil spaces intended to inspire and delight.
  • Garden Guide: A printed guidebook with a map, schedule, garden descriptions, and more—a perfect keepsake of your day.
  • Early Wristband Pickup: Avoid the morning rush by picking up your wristband the day before the event.

In the Works:

  • Live Music: Enjoy the ambiance with live music—a mix of local talent, pending final lineup confirmation.
