Gardens of the South Coast raises funds for public schools

Take a short drive down the coast, and stop by and visit the most lovely private gardens in Pescadero, Loma Mar, & La Honda.  Homeowners with incredible seaside gardens, mountain redwood gardens, sunny hilltop herbal and flower gardens have graciously opened up their personal gardens for our annual Gardens of the South Coast Garden Tour, Plant Sale & Wine Tasting - a benefit for La Honda & Pescadero Educational Foundations.

This self-guided tour allows the garden lover to visit gardens on Saturday, Sunday or both days, May 20-21, 2006 from 10 am til 4 pm.  On Saturday, pick up your tickets and tour booklet at the Information Booth, in front of the Pescadero Post Office.  The unique and exquisite gardens of Loma Mar and Pescadero will be featured on Saturday’s tour, winding down the day with a gardening lecture by Sunset Magazine’s master gardener, Jack McKinnon, and a Wine & Cheese reception, both at Harley Goat Farms, on North Street in Pescadero, from 4 - 6 pm.  Sunday’s tour will offer some beautiful sunny hillside gardens and rich redwood forest gardens of La Honda and Loma Mar to visitors.  Begin Sunday by stopping by to pick up tickets and tour booklet at the Information Booth in front of Coastside Veterinary Clinic (next to Post Office) in La Honda.
