One of the most unique plant nurseries in all of San Diego County is Weidners Garden at 695 Normandy Road in Encinitas.

Weidners Garden is not your ordinary run-of-the-mill garden nursery.

They are not always open, closing at specific times of the year to replenish their stock, and when they re-open, it's always fun. You often get to dig your own plants directly out of the ground, they often have free food and drinks, and their educational chats with the owners are not to be missed if you have a question that no one else can answer.

Weidners Garden has the greatest selection of my four favorite flowers: fuchsias, cyclamens, begonias, and pansies.

In the Spring each year, they have a special dig-your-own-begonias day featuring tuberous begonias:

Ah, but it's not Spring, you say. That's right! It's Fall! And in the fall, Weidners Garden has a special dig-your-own-pansies day:

This year, pansy digging day is Sunday, November 1. Gates open at 8:30 a.m., and the official pansy digging bell rings at 9:00 a.m.

Wear your old clothes and shoes because the pansy field is usually wet, soggy, and muddy, but a lot of fun. Take the family with you!

The best selection of pansies is the first day they open for the Fall, so get there early. They have digging tools and boxes to put your selections in, but it can never hurt to bring your own.

The first week is "Family Digs Together Week." Bring your children because each child who digs with you gets to dig one free pansy.

You can see Weidners pansy pictures by clicking here, and you can find winter coupons at their winter coupons page.

Saturday and Sunday, November 7 and 8, are free hot dog day. You've never had a hot dog until you've had a Weidners Garden hot dog!
