Encinitas Garden Festival - May 3

04-14-2008

May 3, 10am-4pm
Experience an all-day celebration of community, gardening and horticultural heritage, with a self-guided walking tour of nearly 20 exceptional private gardens in Olivenhain Valley.  In addition to the garden tour, the public is invited to visit Gardener’s Marketplace on the historic Olivenhain Meeting Hall grounds.  The Marketplace will feature plants from boutique nurseries, artists, and other vendors. Docents from the Elijo Lagoon Foundation will be on-hand to talk about gardening alongside native habitat.
 
While the Marketplace is free and open to the public, garden admission is by ticket only. Tickets purchased in advance cost $21 for adults and $7 for children (10 and under). The event is expected to sell out, but if tickets are still available on festival day, adult tickets will be $25, children’s tickets will be $10. For more information and to purchase tickets on-line please visit www.encinitasgardenfestival.org or call 760-753-8615.

 

This year, a portion of the event proceeds will be donated to the Encinitas Garden Festival Fund through the Coastal Community Foundation. The funds will be reinvested back into the community of Encinitas, for gardening books for the new library.
