This year’s six main gardens, located primarily in The Village, Hermosa and Bird Rock neighborhoods, ranged in size from expansive to quaint and featured bounties of flowering plants and trees, Asian-inspired, zen-like spaces, a seemingly-private forest, camellia garden and more, prompting delight and surprise from wristband-flocked guests.

Each of the gardens also featured artists painting, musicians and local designers, along with master gardeners on hand to offer tips and information about the landscaping.

A seventh, bonus garden was available only to those with an upgraded ticket.
