Celebrate Mother's Day May 8 at the free Olivas Adobe "Murals and Roses" event

Celebrate Mom on her special day with flowers, beautiful images and a tribute-all for free! The Olivas Adobe will showcase a series of colorful murals depicting the history of Ventura, its beautiful rose garden and a pictorial tribute to mothers as a free event on the grounds of the historical park.

The murals, each measuring 4 by 8 feet up to 8 by 8 feet, were painted by Marguerite Hardeman in the 1960s and have been stored at Olivas Park. Each year, the murals are brought out for display around the park grounds and the rose garden in celebration of spring.

Members of the public can view the murals and learn the history they depict from costumed docents, then tour the Olivas rose garden, where members of the Ventura County Rose Society will be on hand to answer questions about the different types of roses on display. Visitors will not want to miss the tribute to mothers, some famous, others unsung and even a mother owl named Olivia (who returns to the adobe for raising chicks each spring) on display in the Exhibit Hall.

In addition to the free exhibits, historical tours of the Olivas Adobe grounds are available, as well as a unique gift shop, where tickets for tours can be purchased.

Ventura County is a great place to live. If you need further proof, please give me a call and I can prove it to you!
