Open Garden Day Invites Orange Residents to Explore Hidden Gardens Nearby

Garden lovers in the City of Orange can take a short trip for a unique outdoor experience at Open Garden Day, a self-guided tour showcasing some of the most beautiful private gardens in the area.

The event gives visitors rare access to multiple private residential gardens, offering inspiration through unique landscaping, creative outdoor spaces, and thoughtfully designed plant layouts. Along the way, guests can also enjoy local vendors, live music, food options, and educational talks from gardening experts, turning the day into more than just a garden tour. 

What makes the event stand out is its community feel — it’s not just about viewing gardens, but about connecting with neighbors, learning new ideas for home spaces, and supporting local organizations. Proceeds from the event are reinvested into schools, environmental programs, and neighborhood improvements, adding a give-back element to the experience. 

For Orange residents, it’s an easy nearby outing that blends creativity, nature, and community into one relaxed day.

Open Garden Day takes place Saturday, May 9, 2026 from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM throughout the West Floral Park neighborhood, with wristband pickup located at 2302 North Westwood Ave in Santa Ana.
