Five unique Ramona Valley gardens are designed to inspire visitors to become more \u201cwaterwise\u201d as part of the Ramona Garden Club\u2019s self-guided Spring Garden Tour on Saturday, May 2.<\/p>\n

The event is set for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and runs in conjunction with the Plant & Craft Sale from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the same day at Ramona Oaks Park, 25341 Pappas Road in the San Diego Country Estates.<\/p>\n

Tickets to the Garden Tour cost $30 and can be purchased online at RamonaGardenClub.com. Tickets are also sold at Main Street Coffee at 680 Main St. and at the Plant & Craft Sale on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Each of the five gardens reflects the owner\u2019s creativity, vision and changes they\u2019ve made over the years to integrate native plants and trees, said Ramona Garden Club President Robert Holton. The goal was to become more in harmony with the natural surroundings, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s tour will also help visitors experience creative ideas for incorporating various landscape materials and designs with native and non-native plants to become more waterwise while maintaining the vision of a beautiful garden,\u201d Holton said.<\/p>\n

As visitors explore the various gardens they will notice extensive walking pathways that several owners have incorporated over the years.<\/p>\n

The Garden Tour and the Spring Plant & Craft Sale are the Garden Club\u2019s largest revenue generators for the year, Holton said.<\/p>\n

\u201cProceeds go to our local high school scholarship fund, and support grants to local nonprofit organizations to support beautification and educational initiatives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s plant sale aligns with the club\u2019s annual theme of \u201cSupporting Native Bees in Our Community.\u201d The sale will feature native and non-native flowering plants that attract bees and other pollinators.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor several months, club members have been propagating and growing a wide variety of plant groupings for the sale,\u201d Holton said. \u201cOne benefit of homegrown plants is that the plants can be sold at lower prices than retail stores.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to plants, a wide variety of homemade crafts items, some that club members have created, will be sold.<\/p>\n
