The Tour this will will showcase homes along Water Street and The Abbott Tract area.

The eye-catching seasonal decorations and floral arrangements throughout this walking Tour will be composed of natural materials, designed and hand crafted by members of The Garden Club of St. Augustine.

Your ticket will include refreshments, and a visit to our “Unique Boutique” which will feature delicious homemade treats and beautifully hand designed items created by our members. Begin your Holiday shopping in earnest while enjoying Holiday refreshments.
