The 14th annual Point Loma Garden Walk homes and gardens tour, presented by Dana Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary, will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 25. The Garden Boutique will have items by local artisans and garden vendors; proceeds benefit Rady’s craniofacial services. The exclusive Diamond Tour includes a luncheon and tour of a historic California Mediterranean home. Garden Walk tickets are $25, with diamond tickets at $150. Information and tickets are available at pointlomagardenwalk.com or at local nurseries in Point Loma.
Plants and garden art take the spotlight on this year’s tour; unique gardens are the result, according to Pam Caldwell, who organizes the annual event. Gardeners’ decisions were based on: terrain, an interest in horticulture, plantings to showcase garden treasurers, a search for unusual drought tolerant plants while creating comfortable and satisfying outdoor spaces to fit individual lifestyles. “Anyone looking for something special for their home garden will find it on this year’s walk,” Caldwell said.
The Dana Unit receives local support from the Point Loma Optimists, Point Loma Rotary, Girl Scouts and the Point Loma Artists Association plus businesses that advertise in the map/brochure. Baron’s Marketplace and Stumps provide complimentary water. “The Point Loma Garden Walk, San Diego’s most beautiful way to support Rady Children’s Hospital,” Caldwell said.
