The Garden Club of Savannah
presents its
48th Annual NOGS Tour of Hidden Gardens
April 25 and 26, 2025
Pieces and Places: Pieces of our Lives like Quilting Squares & Places in our Hearts like 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 Gaston Street (NOGS) to the Savannah River. As part of the tour, guests are invited to a Southern Tea Sampling at the Green-Meldrim House, a National Historic Landmark and one of the South’s finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture. We anticipate this popular tour will sell out quickly. Record numbers of visitors from all over the U.S. and abroad are expected. Our theme this year is "Pieces and Places: Pieces of our Lives like Quilting Squares & Places in our Hearts like Gardens."
Important: Garden Tour tickets may be used either Friday or Saturday (or divided between days). However, the Southern Tea Sampling, Trolley Tour, and Architecture & Landscape Walking Tour must be attended on the day and time chosen when purchasing tickets.
