Gardens of the World

Mission Statement

The Gardens of the World is privately owned and operated by the Hogan Family Foundation, Inc. The Gardens became a reality when Ed and Lynn Hogan, founders of Pleasant Holidays, decided to build a striking monument to commemorate the various cultures of the world. Their motivation wa to give back to the community in which they live and have conducted their highly successful travel business. It was dedicated to the citizens of the Conejo Valley on December 9, 2001.

The Gardens exist not only as a cultural contribution to the community, but as an educational tool. Volunteer docents lead guided tours and assist with school tours throughout the year. The Gardens also provide a venue for local charitable organizations to hold select fundraising activities.

The 4.5 acre cultural landmark features different gardens representing England, France, Italy, Japan and the unique California Mission Courtyard.
