SECRET GARDENS

Since 1975, the Secret Gardens Tour has been a vital fundraiser for the School, supporting arts, athletics, academics, and more. This beloved tradition invites the community to explore breathtaking private gardens while making a lasting impact on student experiences.

Support Secret Gardens

Each year, the Secret Gardens Committee selects between six and ten unique gardens to take part in this one-day, self-guided tour and luncheon. While the geographical location of the event is known, the actual gardens are kept secret until a detailed map is sent to subscribers two weeks before the tour.

You can support Secret Gardens by volunteering, nominating a garden, becoming a sponsor, and attending.
