Dana Reston Lyons’ roots with the Virginia Robinson Gardens run deep. The Co-Chair of this year’s 28th Annual Garden Tour says her passion for the unique blend of horticulture, art, and design that the historic estate in Beverly Hills offers began with her childhood visits to the botanical wonderland. This photo says it all…when you enter the property, you can’t help but feel the desire to surround yourself in a field of flowers. Join us this Saturday, May 14th – tickets are available on-line.
All the gardens are truly spectacular; some feature stunning views, gorgeous roses, splendid fountains, and wisteria-wrapped pergolas. One landscape delights with a charming children’s garden, while another, with Moorish accents of colorful tile murals, wrought-iron gates, and arches, evokes the Alhambra. A garden located on three lots is so abundant with organic fruits and vegetables, that its produce supplies one of Los Angeles’s best restaurants! Another garden is reminiscent of Addison Mizner’s Palm Beach palaces, with private patios off of every doorway, lavishly planted with succulents and palms. The bonus garden has an indoor/outdoor feel with a sophisticated aesthetic achieved through unique and sculptured trees, lushly layered plant borders, water elements, herb gardens, and a collection of antiquities highlighting the resting areas with glorious canyon views.
For a truly special experience, the Concierge level pampers all of its guests with attendants to serve them at beautiful and elegant tables. Brad Austin, the celebrated award-winning florist, will adorn each table with his custom designs. The bright, festive colors of the Latin theme will delight you as well as the delicious, fully catered service. Additionally, Friends of Robinson Gardens ambassadors will guide your visit to the fabulous boutique, auction, and beautiful exhibits. The exclusive Jo Malone gift bag is yours to enjoy as a remembrance of an unforgettable day, and all for a great cause—supporting Beverly Hills’ public gem, the Virginia Robinson Gardens.
Treat yourself on this special day with these great opportunities!
