Had it not been for COVID-19, hundreds of people would be enjoying some of Beverly Hills’ most gorgeous environs on Saturday, May 16, at the Virginia Robinson Gardens’ 2020 Garden Tour. The annual tour of private estates and a luxurious garden luncheon evocative of Gatsby is the major fundraiser for the historic Gardens, supporting restoration needs and children’s science programs.
But like so many nonprofits which relied on in-person fundraising events to draw in needed donor dollars, the Friends of Robinson Gardens, the volunteer non- profit which supports the Gardens, will need to pivot their fundraising efforts this year. According to President of the Friends Patti Reinstein, Garden Tour plans are still evolving.
