Let's Talk Plants!

Most months, the San Diego Horticultural Society features a garden for a private tour by society members.

This is an opportunity to visit a beautiful garden, take a self-paced garden tour, and socialize with other society members.

 

If you have or know of a garden that would be a suitable for sharing please email Karen England.

 

Due to space constraints, the number of attendees may be limited. 

Advance reservations are required.

    The San Diego Horticultural Society has teamed up with the Association of Professional Landscape Designers-San Diego District, to feature the work of some of the best local garden designers! Gardens for the 2024 Spring Garden Tour are located in Carlsbad, Leucadia, and Encinitas.

    Garden Descriptions

    The theme for this year’s tour is Sustainable Beauty. Designers have created gardens to support all life -  plant life, soil life, insect life, wild life, and human life. Enjoy seeing gardens with elements that exemplify how to support nature and our planet, while bringing more beauty into the landscape. Some of the design elements that you will see are: rainwater capture, native and climate appropriate plants, plants for habitat, efficient irrigation, permeable paving, and the utilization of compost and mulch. Each garden has its own personal style designed to take advantage of unique characteristics of the site to create wonderful living, relaxing and entertaining spaces!

    In exchange for working a morning or afternoon shift, volunteers receive free entry to the gardens.
