Rossmoor Woman’S Club, Est 1958The 19th Annual Rossmoor Woman’s Club Spring Garden Tour, coming up on Sunday, May 21, showcases six homes in Rossmoor and Los Alamitos where owners have created their dream landscapes.
.
For die-hard gardeners, there’s a home surrounded by jasmine, roses, and geraniums. Another has an English cottage vibe created by a lavish display of in-ground annuals mixed with faux blossoms. Third, a water-wise garden features decomposed granite walkways, succulents, and native grasses planted in-ground, with cutting flowers, vegetables, and herbs growing in a container garden outfitted with drip irrigation.
For outdoor living aficionados, there are plenty of pools, spas, bars, kitchens, and other hallmarks of the relaxed California lifestyle.
The self-guided tour is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It includes an outdoor marketplace at Arbor Village featuring refreshments, raffle baskets, and music by harpist Julio Montero. The woman’s club will offer some plant arrangements for sale, too.
Tickets, which contain addresses and a map of all the homes, are $20 per person and will be available starting around April 15. They may be purchased from any club member, from a selection of local merchants, or, for a $1 service fee, on the club website
