We need several volunteers for this event, if you would like to assist the organizers, please email info@sdhort.org to sign up to help.
This 45-year-old garden on 2.5 acres in Elfin Forest is the creation of Frank and Susan Oddo. They named it Birdsong for its lush Mediterranean vegetation that attracts birds, bees and butterflies year-round. It features Aloes, Agaves, Aeoniums, Bromeliads, Tillandsias, Grevilleas, Leucadendrons, a giant thorn tree, a statuesque Queensland Bottle tree, garden art, and much more. Pathways, gazebos, benches, a koi pond, rock work, and a large deck to enjoy the view are part of its charm.
Bring your lunch and sit on the deck after your tour.
Bring a bag or box for give-away plants.
A walking stick for the hillside, while not steep, is useful.
Walking shoes are a must.
No restroom access due to septic.
If you have any questions about this garden event, please write to info@sdhort.org. We look forward to seeing you!
