The Friends of the Hortense Miller Garden, a non-profit organization since 1977, was established to manage and care for the house and garden built by Hortense Miller in 1958. The Mid-Century Modern home, designed by Knowlton Fernald, is a registered historic structure preserved by the Friends. It is our purpose to stimulate public interest and use of the garden by highlighting and hosting events dealing with horticulture, architecture, art and education. We endeavor to enhance the cultural arts environment of Laguna Beach through programming and arts exhibits and to help support a vibrant arts community.
