The 13th annual Point Loma Garden Walk will again showcase eight gorgeous Peninsula home gardens to raise money to support the Dana Unit of Rady Children\u2019s Hospital Auxiliary. The event will be held in Roseville, the oldest settled part of Point Loma, on Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
\nThis\u00a0year\u2019s walk spotlights the select home gardens \u2014 some with interior tours \u2014 and includes a popular Garden Boutique and Dana Diamond Tour, as well as featuring a private shuttle to the gardens with lunch in a home not on the regular tour.\u00a0\u00a0
\n“The Garden Walk is San Diego\u2019s most beautiful way to support Rady Children\u2019s Hospital,” said Pam Caldwell, chairwoman of Dana Unit of Rady Children\u2019s Hospital Auxiliary. “The tour features family-friendly gardens, traditional gardens,\u00a0a lush and colorful succulent garden, homes that have maximized their bay and city views and homes whose gardens join seamlessly with the interior rooms,” she said.
\nProceeds benefit Children\u2019s Hospital\u2019s Craniofacial Department, which diagnoses and treats complex disorders of the face and skull that can be caused by birth defect, trauma or disease. \u00a0
\nThe nature of the facial disorders often requires long-term treatment. A multi-disciplinary team approach enables highly complex surgeries to be performed. Team members include surgeons, geneticists, ophthalmologists, orthodontists, pediatric dentists, speech pathologists, social services, psychologists and audiologists.\u00a0
\nProceeds from the Garden Walk will assist patients who require multiple interventions, team visits to help with feeding, social services, parent education and medical management. In the past, specialized plastic surgery and microsurgical instruments have also been funded.
\nThe homes and gardens on the Point Loma Garden Walk reflect how gardening has changed over the last 13 years.\u00a0\u00a0
\n“Gardens are no longer separate spaces but important living areas of the home,” said Caldwell. “Today\u2019s gardeners have an amazing variety in plant selection and hardscapes are as important as plantings.”
\nThe annual garden tour draws local support from the Point Loma Optimist Club,\u00a0 Point Loma Rotary Club, Girl Scout Troop \u00a04081 and the Point Loma Artists Association, as well as local businesses who sell tickets and advertise in a map\/brochure.\u00a0 \u00a0
\nBaron\u2019s Marketplace and Stumps provide complimentary water for garden walkers.\u00a0\u00a0
\nRoseville is named for its developer, San Diego pioneer Louis Rose, who bought the area in 1866, laid out streets and built a wharf and a hotel. Many Portugeuse fishermen and fishing boat owners settled in the area and it is still the focus of San Diego\u2019s large Portuguese community.
