It will come as no surprise that like many of our favorite events, the NOGS Tour has been canceled due to the public health risks associated with large gatherings. Please join us next year for what will still be the 45th Annual NOGS Tour of Hidden Gardens. This special Tour unlocks the garden gates of selected private gardens and historic gardens for self-guided exploration. Ticket holders will enjoy springtime gardens located in Savannah’s Landmark Historic District, which is the largest in the United States. All the gardens are located in the area North of Gwinnett Street (NOGS) to the Savannah River. As part of the Tour, guests are invited to a Southern Tea at the Green-Meldrim House, a National Historic Landmark and one of the South’s finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture. Funds from the Tour are donated to numerous organizations throughout the Savannah area thanks to your generous support.
See you in 2021
