Plans for the upcoming Backyard and Garden Tour on Sunday, May 18 are progressing nicely.  Attendees will be able to visit mature gardens, newly installed gardens and gain some great ideas for using space you might never have dreamed of as a garden site.

You will have the opportunity to meet the owners and sometimes the designers of their gardens. If you are considering re-doing your garden or if you are just interested in gardens in general, the hosts are very knowledgeable about the rules and regulations for installing decks, ponds, paths, etc.  This will enable you to avoid the many pitfalls having to do with setbacks for decks and the other hundreds of details that can derail your plans. 

And of course you will encounter a wide variety of ornamental and flowering plants and trees that are just right for our Miraloma Park climate and microclimates. Plan on spending the afternoon of Sunday, May 18 with us from 1-4 pm in the gardens.  You will receive a map of the sites to be visited.  After the tour there will be a social at the Miraloma Park Clubhouse from 4 to 5:30 pm where you can partake of wine and cheese and be able to speak in greater depth to the owners and designers.

There will be no advanced ticket sales and further information about purchasing tickets will appear in the May issue of Miraloma Life.
