Since its founding in 2009, the Peachtree Garden Club Christmas Home Tour has become one of Atlanta’s most beloved holiday traditions. Over the past 15 years, this event has welcomed thousands of guests into beautifully decorated homes and raised more than $1.3 million for the Peachtree Garden Club Community Fund. After much thought, we have made the decision to pause the Christmas Home Tour for 2025 in order to refresh and reimagine it for the future. Our goal is to ensure that the Home Tour continues to inspire, delight, and provide meaningful support to the organizations and initiatives that strengthen our community. We are deeply grateful for the loyalty of our patrons, who return year after year with friends and family. Over the past 15 years, we hope the Christmas Home Tour has inspired you to bring the magic of the season into your own homes and to create cherished holiday traditions with those you love. We would like to thank our sponsors for continuing to support the Peachtree Garden Club Community Fund during this time. Thank you for being such an important part of the Christmas Home Tour. We look forward to welcoming you back in December 2026—refreshed, reimagined, and stronger than ever. With gratitude, The Peachtree Garden Club |

Peachtree Garden Club 2024 Christmas Home Tour A Huge Success A highlight of Atlanta’s holiday season is the Peachtree Garden Club Christmas Home Tour in early December. Held annually, this community event is renowned for showcasing four of the most beautiful homes in Atlanta, decorated in imaginative holiday trimmings.
The first Tour was held in 1949, and it has raised over $1,300,000 to support the Community Fund. Beneficiaries have included the Neel Reid Scholarship Fund for the School of Environment and Design at University of Georgia, Atlanta Botanical Garden, Atlanta History Center/Swan Woods, South Fork Conservancy, Chattahoochee Riverkeepers, Historic Oakland Cemetery, Shepherd Center, and Southeastern Horticultural Society. Member volunteers enjoy the camaraderie of collaborating with multiple generations and learning from their talents, be they design or hospitality. They contribute and create décor to complement and enrich homeowners’ own holiday ornaments. Atlantans flock to the houses, each unique from one another, as an annual tradition. |
The one-day fundraiser benefits the Club’s Community Fund, a non-profit 501 (c) 3. Monies serve non-profit scientific and educational needs in the fields of conservation and horticulture through a grant process.

The Christmas Home Tour supports the Peachtree Garden Club Community Fund
Recipient Highlight: PGC Endows University of Georgia Neel Reid Scholars
In 1947, Peachtree Garden Club (PGC) created the Neel Reid Scholarship Fund to provide support for Landscape Architecture students at University of Georgia’s College of Environment + Design. Students apply for an endowed scholarship award named after renowned Georgia Architect Neel Reid (1885-1926). Reid co-founded the Georgia School of Classicists, was a celebrated garden designer, and was dedicated to preservation and contextual design.
PGC has continued to support growth of the endowment, now hovering at over $1 million. On average, 10 to 12 graduate and undergraduate students receive awards annually. And, if any receive an assistantship, the University waives tuition, a net effect doubling of the award. Hands-on PGC committee members vet candidates and submit final recommendations to the College.
“We can spend about $50,000 a year on the Neel Reid scholarships. As a result, we attract top talent who have competing offers from other big-name schools, and we can retain them. The scholarship is incredibly competitive and great on resumes for future employment or grad school. It is life changing for students,” said Dean of the Landscape Architecture program, Dr. Sonia Hirt.
She added, “It’s about recruiting and retaining quality talent. This scholarship helps keep us highly competitive. DesignIntelligence (design and architectural ratings/survey firm) just ranked us the most desirable school to hire from. Peachtree Garden Club directly influenced this outcome. Students are shrewd and seek optimal economic terms when they select a school. With this scholarship, they can focus on learning and complete degrees on time. We are grateful to PGC for this gift.”
