Description

Each year on the first Sunday in May, the Tor House Garden Party brings together admirers of architecture, the wild coast of Carmel, and of course, the poetry of Robinson Jeffers. Enjoy an afternoon (2 – 5 PM) of perusing the granite home and 40-foot tower that Jeffers built as he crafted his remarkable dramatic poems. As you walk the grounds, you’ll be enchanted by musicians, plein air painters, and knowledgeable docents who reveal fascinating details of America’s great poet, philosopher, and environmentalist, as well as the remarkable life he shared with his wife and muse Una, and their family. This is also a special day for photographers as it is the only time cameras are permitted inside Tor House. A climb to the top of Hawk Tower provides inspiring vistas of the pounding Pacific Ocean and the fabled beauty of Pt Lobos. No doubt, you’ll want to return for your own in-depth tour.
