May's open garden will be at the beautiful gardens of Ray and Bonnie Brooks in Escondido at 10 AM to 2 PM on Saturday, May 5.
Set on over an acre of land, Ray has a varied collection of plants. Wanting to grow plants that do not necessarily love the Escondido weather, Ray's garden includes a large greenhouse/conservatory with many in-ground plants and a propagation area. Be sure to check out Ray's newest garden, the 'Cycad Terraces' with over thirty in-ground and potted cycads. Take some time to wander or just have a seat and relax beside the waterfall in his 'Secret Garden'.
Stay tuned for an email with more details on registering to attend and the Brooks' address.
