Thousands of garden tour visitors have enjoyed the biennial garden tour for more than 20 years, making the Blooms With A View Garden Tour the community's longest-running event. The tour has become a community treasure and now extends its reach to embrace private gardens in View Park, Windsor Hills, View Heights, Ladera Heights, and Baldwin Hills.
