    The Art of Coastal Gardening

    This year's tour features coastal gardens shaped by a mild, ocean-cooled climate-lush, resilient, and naturally beautiful year-round. With less water required and a wide range of plants thriving, these landscapes are both abundant and sustainable.

    Color plays a starring role. Plantings are paired with expressive architectural details-painted doors, walls, and garden elements-creating spaces where the garden and home speak the same visual language.
