Thanks so much for your kind attention at the San Diego Botanic Garden lecture last Saturday. I really enjoyed addressing such an astute group. There was so much going on that I forgot to tell you about a garden tour that you may be interested in taking. The information is below.
Have a great Spring!

GardenLife Bus Tour May 7, 2010

 
Join GardenLife radio co-hosts, John Bagnasco, Bruce and Sharon Asakawa on a Spring adventure to:
  • OASIS Water Efficient Garden in Escondido
  • EuroDesert Roses in Morongo Valley 
  • The Living Desert Museum in Palm Desert Living Desert
There are buying opportunities at all the places we visit and we can store our prize purchases on the bus. OASIS specializes in cacti and succulents, as well as other drought-tolerant materials including sedum mats that can be unrolled directly onto a slope or roof-top for an attractive and water-thrifty landscape feature.

Our second stop will be at EuroDesert Roses in Morongo Valley, California's high desert. Owner Cliff Orent grows over 5,000 roses and 3,800 varieties of which many are commercially available only at EuroDesert Roses. Normally not open to the public, this will provide a unique opportunity to see thousands of rare, unusual and historically important roses.

The final stop will be at The Living Desert Wildlife and Botanical Park in Palm Desert where Mack Nash of the Garden Department will give us an overview of the fascinating gardens and afterward we will stroll around to enjoy all the desert's natural wonder and beauty.
