Some of the most interesting outdoor spaces in Los Angeles aren’t public. They’re tucked behind private homes, designed over time, and usually out of view.
For a limited time each year, a few of these spaces open through The Garden Conservancy Open Days program, giving a rare look inside residential gardens across the city.

Open Days is a seasonal program that allows visitors to explore private gardens not typically open to the public. These are real homes, not formal public gardens, which makes the experience feel more personal and grounded.
Each location is selected for its design, layout, or plant collection.
