Home & Garden Tours
Santa Fe’s oldest and most prestigious Home and Garden Tours
Behind Adobe Walls™
July 18 and 25, 2023
The 2022 tours were sold out early last year so we encourage you to put these dates on your calendar. Tickets will go on sale in March of 2023 and we hope to see you next year.
Event proceeds benefit the Santa Fe Garden Club’s community education, beautification, and conservation projects including the Santa Fe Botanical Garden’s Ojos y Manos Learning Laboratory and the New Mexico Museum of Art Courtyard Garden, a legacy gift to the Santa Fe community.
We look forward to seeing you on July 18 and 25, 2023.
For additional information please contact Barbara Templeman at 505-660-2393.
Since 1940 guests have enjoyed Santa Fe’s oldest and most prestigious Home & Garden Tour on two Tuesdays in the month of July. Guests board SFGC hostess-guided buses equipped with HEPA filters at noon and visit four unique, seldom-seen private residences each week. Each tour features four different houses. Refreshments are served at each delightful garden on the tour. Regrettably, these tours are not ADA accessible. Walking is required. Homes do not accommodate mobility devices. Tickets are non-refundable and changes to tour dates are not allowed, but you may transfer a ticket to another person. All guests must show proof of vaccination at time of check in and wear masks for the duration of the tour.
On the day of the tour, there are often tickets available. Registration will open at 10:30 AM. At that time, we will take the names of people who would like to be placed on a wait list. Anyone signing up on the wait list must be present. We will release tickets on the day of the tour in the order of people’s name on the wait list. Wait list sign up will begin at 10:30 AM on the day of the tour.
Guests board buses at Eldorado Hotel, 309 W. San Francisco. City parking lots at corner of W. San Francisco and Sandoval streets.

Pequeño (Small) Tours
The small and private Pequeño Home & Garden Tours are offered mid-April through mid-October and provide entry into some of Santa Fe’s finest homes and gardens. Small groups enjoy up to three beautiful residences on a 3-4 hour tour hosted by Santa Fe Garden Club members. We follow all CDC COVID recommendations.
Each tour includes narrated descriptions of the homes as well as stories of historic Santa Fe. Groups arrange their own transportation—van or small (29 passengers) bus. Assistance in securing transportation will be provided. For more information about reservations, please call 505-986-5052 or 617-633-4123.
Pequeño Tours COVID Policy
Keeping our volunteers, homeowners and guests safe and healthy is a top priority for us. All guests participating in Pequeño Tours will be required to show proof of vaccination upon checking in for a tour.
As of August 20, 2021, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has reinstated a mask mandate when indoors. We ask guests to wear a mask for the duration of the tour, including on the buses, and in the homes and gardens. Should CDC and New Mexico Health Guidelines change, our policies may change.
We hope you feel safe while attend a Pequeño tour and thank you in advance for your consideration! We appreciate your support!
