Garden Artistry

Celebrating the beauty of our neighborhoods and the people who make them bloom since 2000.


HOW IT ALL BEGAN


Rooted in community since 2000


Inspired Garden Artistry (IGA) began in 2000 when an impactful group of neighbors, sharing a love for gardening, decided that the View Park–Windsor Hills community deserved a Garden Tour.


The inaugural Spring Garden Tour took place on the first Sunday in May 2001 and showcased nine diverse garden landscapes. These private gardens highlighted backyard entertainment, different landscape designs, and an array of colorful plant life thriving in the hills overlooking Los Angeles.


This premiere event was affectionately named Blooms With A View by the Los Angeles Times.

OUR PURPOSE

We engage people to experience creative landscapes and transfer our love of nature to help unify our neighborhoods and collective communities.


We do this by teaching the art of gardening, providing community enhancing activities and supporting information to encourage conservation efforts, smart gardening, urban farming and beautification.
