The Venice Garden and Home Tour is an annual event in Venice, California that showcases unusual and delightful homes and gardens that exemplify the creative and original style of their owners, as well as the talents of local designers.

The tour was conceived by Venice landscape designer Jay Griffith and Venice community leaders Linda Lucks and Jan Brilliot as a fundraising event to benefit the Neighborhood Youth Association's Las Doradas Children's Center. NYA was founded in 1906 by the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles and has enhanced the lives of thousands of "at risk" children.
