I return comment for comment.Now that spring has officially sprung throughout the nation, it's time for the annual spring garden tours throughout San Diego County.

As usually, there's a garden for everyone. You'll find deserts; golf courses; water; fruits and vegetables; trees; birds, bees, and butterflies; garden art; outdoor living; tropical; native; xeriscape; flatlands; hills and valleys; arts and crafts; and more.

Please call for information about the tours since some of them don't all high heels, some will occur even if the weather is bad, and others might cance in case of heavy rain without a refund.

If you're going on a tour, wear good walking shoes; take water, hat, long sleeve shirts, and sun protection; and enjoy the many beautiful gardens that we are lucky to have in our own little weather paradise.

Here are some coming up in the next few weeks:

Great information, I love how you keep these community offerings posted.  If I go to San Diego (chance in May, not sure yet) I will have to scroll through your blog and pick up some highlights of things to do.  My own tour service at my fingertips.  Thanks!!
