Laguna Beach Garden Club

Laguna Beach Garden Club Founded in 1928, we stay committed to educating others about gardening and enhancing the natural beauty of the community we serve.

Founded over 80 years ago in beautiful Laguna Beach, California, the Laguna Beach Garden Club supports a wide variety of projects related to education in gardening, horticulture, landscape and floral design, conservation, ecology, and bird life. Fabulous speakers have joined us recently, such as Debra Lee Baldwin, queen of succulents. We make annual donations to several local public gardens and ar

boretums. Saddleback College horticultural students have benefitted for several years from our scholarship program. The Annual Spring Garden Tour is a public viewing of several of the loveliest gardens that Laguna Beach residents have to offer. The tour is our most important fund-raising event and makes possible all of our environmental projects and scholarships. Our regular meetings are at 9:30 the second friday of each month September through May in Tankersley Fellowship Hall of Laguna Presbyterian Church, 415 Forest Avenue. If you are thinking about joining, please join us at our next meeting!

🌿🐝 Celebrating smart, beautiful gardening! Congratulations to Kirk & Karen, winners of the 2026 LBCWD WaterWise & FireSafe Award at the Laguna Beach Garden Club Gate & Garden Tour for their stunning “Queen Bee’s Clubhouse” garden.
Designed with waterwise and fire-safe principles in mind, their landscape proves that sustainability and style go hand in hand — creating a space that’s artistic, pollinator-friendly, and resilient for the future.
As part of this special recognition from Laguna Beach County Water District, they were presented with a one-of-a-kind handmade mosaic stepping stone — a beautiful symbol of thoughtful stewardship and creativity in the garden. 🌸💧🔥
Thank you for inspiring our community to garden with beauty, purpose, and conservation in mind!
