Encinitas Garden Festival and Tour

I am going to the Encinitas Garden Festival this Saturday! There will be 16 private gardens to tour, plants for sale and gardening lectures. I just hope I have enough time to view the gardens and listen to some of the lectures.  As always so much gardening and so little time.

    Love the Salpiglossis picture! I have my seedlings started but it will be a while before I can enjoy that flower.

    Hello Ferne,
    This is a picture of one I grew last summer; I too only have small plants right now. It won't be long before we both will be enjoying these flowers.
    Thank you for your visit!

    Beautiful flower. Never heard of it before. I'll have to look for it at our nursery. Salpiglossi. Hm. What a name! Can't wait to see your garden tour pics!

    Just went to the Encinitas garden site and what a surprise to see a picture of my old backyard! I had a garden where they have added a pool and pool house. I used the studio for sewing and crafts. It's an awesome place.

    Tere, was it the house with the artist studio?

    Yes but when I lived there it was divided by a wall and part was a studio and the other was a garden/workshed/storage. It was much more rustic and closer to the original design. There was even a corral in the front lot!
