Go beyond the garden gates on a Members-Only Excursion to the Hortense Miller Home and Garden, one of Laguna Beach’s hidden gems.

Nestled on 2.5 acres above Boat Canyon, the Hortense Miller Garden features over 600 plant species, winding trails, and a pristine 1958 Mid-Century Modern home built by Knowlton Fernald with breathtaking ocean views. Original furnishings and architectural renderings offer a glimpse into Laguna’s artistic past.

This 2-hour excursion offered exclusively to members of Sherman Library & Gardens includes a guided home and garden tour, a special presentation by local beekeeper Jess Murray, and a champagne toast on the balcony overlooking Catalina Island.
