  Celebrate Valentines Day with a visit to the colorful and romantic 2 acre, Olivenhain garden of Bobbi Hirschkoff. With views to La Jolla and Rancho Santa Fe and a gentle slope it provides the foundation of a special garden.  The garden is now over 30 years old and once sunny areas have now become shaded.  The garden is a mixture of plants ranging from drought tolerant to tropical.  Some special features are the lath house, tool shed, koi ponds and numerous pieces of art. 

  • Bobbi will have some of her art available for sale.
  • Wear comfortable walking shoes.
  • Carpooling is recommended.

  This is a Members Only benefit and is free, but you must register to attend.

  The Art of Coastal Gardening

  This year's tour features coastal gardens shaped by a mild, ocean-cooled climate-lush, resilient, and naturally beautiful year-round. With less water required and a wide range of plants thriving, these landscapes are both abundant and sustainable.

  Color plays a starring role. Plantings are paired with expressive architectural details-painted doors, walls, and garden elements-creating spaces where the garden and home speak the same visual language.
