Is there anything more compelling than a secret garden? The gardens tucked away in Ross are some of the most carefully tended and beautiful in Northern California. You will experience some of the greatest gems in the Town of Ross when four lovely garden gates open to you for this year's Beyond the Garden Gate Tour.

Visit a remarkable and resplendent rose garden with over 400 rose bushes; a European inspired villa with an unparalleled bird's eye view of the heart of Ross; a timeless garden that harkens back to an era of elegant garden parties; and a romantic Victorian estate that is steeped in tradition yet updated with chic and sublime garden design. There is plenty of inspiration and ideas to be gleaned! Preview Gardens
