14th Annual Home & Garden Tour

The Newport Harbor Educational Foundation proudly announces their 14th Annual Home & Garden Tour to be held on Thursday, May 12, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. This year the Tour is cochaired by Karen Taylor and Chris Wilkinson, two “alumni” moms whose children graduated from Newport Harbor. “The Newport Harbor Home Tour has become an event the entire community looks forward to each spring,” Taylor said. “We are very pleased to be able to help raise funds for public education.”

Built for Virginia Knott of the Knott’s Berry Farm Family, this home is centered around an indoor pool and atrium with a large retractable skylight.
