Virginia Robinson Gardens is preparing for a dynamic and meaningful year ahead as we look toward 2026 with a renewed focus on preservation, education, and community engagement. As one of Beverly Hills’ most cherished historic estates, the Gardens continue to flourish through the generosity and commitment of our members and supporters.
The coming year marks a thoughtful transition for Virginia Robinson Gardens. After many successful years of the annual Garden Tour, we will introduce a refreshed calendar of events designed to offer engaging experiences throughout the year. While programming formats are evolving, the mission remains constant: to celebrate the history, beauty, and spirit of this remarkable estate while bringing the community together in new and meaningful ways.
To support these initiatives, Virginia Robinson Gardens has updated its membership structure beginning January 1, 2026. As a special bonus for the next cycle all membership levels will receive an additional three months at no cost, extending benefits through March 31, 2027. In addition, all first-year members—at any level—will be invited as guests to a New Members’ Tea, offering a welcoming introduction to the Gardens and its community.
