Thought this might interest some of the list members .... The Encinitas Garden Festival, May 3, 2008 from 10 am to 4 pm. This year is going to be GREAT! 20 of my neighbors in Olivenhain have agreed to open their garden gates. There is a vineyard, a garden with a fabulous display of old farm tools, native plant gardens, Mediterranean climate gardens, and more. They are awesome! Our Gardeners' Marketplace is going to be at the historic Olivenhain Town Hall. We'll have plant vendors, people talking about low water gardening (I'll be selling my book), Mary the Snail Lady will be here, and much much more. Because the neighborhood backs onto Escondido Creek which is the upper region of San Elijo Lagoon, we have an awesome opportunity to include some new opportunities. The San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy will be on hand to talk about the lagoon, why it is important, and how we can create beautiful gardens in ways that protect (and maybe even enhance) the creek and lagoon. San Diego Audubon will talk about birds in the creeks and lagoons (did you know that Olivenhain is highly regarded for its birding?). They will also be talking about their new backyard habitat program. The Encinitas Trails Coalition will be talking about trails and horses and walking and riding.... And a bunch of others Here's the critical info: The Marketplace is free but you need a ticket to see the gardens. Tickets are $21/adult, $7 kids (6 - 10 years old). IF there are tickets left on the day, they'll be $25/adult, $10 kids. (if you volunteer for part of the day, garden admission is free) Buy tickets on-line at www.EncinitasGardenFestival.org. If you don't like using PayPal, download a ticket order form and mail it in with a check before April 22. OR purchase tickets in person at Anderson La Costa Nursery, www.andersonslacostanursery.com/ Because there is no parking at the Olivenhain Town Hall, parking is ONLY at the San Elijo Campus of Mira Costa College www.miracosta.edu/OfficeOfThePresident/PIO/maps.htm#SEC Buses start running at 9:30 in the morning and loop all day. We'll have food in the marketplace but if you'd rather do a nice, sit-down lunch, we'll be doing a bus loop to West Village Plaza midday. This is a walking tour, so dress accordingly and don't forget your sunscreen For more information (and see our growing list of sponsors), please visit www.EncinitasGardenFestival.org I look forward to seeing you!
