We all want to gaze beyond the ancient brick walls of Savannah's historic district to see the hidden gardens. One weekend each April, some of these private plots swing open their iron gates to welcome you in.
The senses come together in these gardens, where sight, sound, smell, and touch create a kaleidoscopic wonder. The Garden Club of Savannah knows this, and they invite you to eight private walled gardens, each chosen for its historical significance, landscape design, or features such as fountains and sculptures. The selection is new every year, and each is as different as its owners.

Savannah's private gardens. Last year, James Morton's hideaway was a
highlight.
