April 20, 2009( Alpine)--Are you looking for ideas to “spruce up” your garden or yard? The Sage & Songbirds Garden Tour has a wealth of ideas for creating beautiful gardens that also provide wildlife-friendly habitat. The 12th annual event, set for May 1-3, spotlights five unique gardens, chock-full of plants, waterscapes, pathways, structures and other very interesting features.
Lisa Lomax, garden tour chairperson, said she always gets new and valuable inspiration for her own garden from those on the tour. “I don’t believe anyone can go on the garden tour without gleaning several new ideas to take home with them,” she said. This year’s tour features four never-before-seen gardens and a fifth, very popular garden that was last on the tour in 2004. Admission to a bonus site--a raptor rehabilitation facility--is also included with ticket, for a total of 6 locations. A garden tour ticket is valid from 10 am to 4 pm, May 1-3, and includes a map with directions to each home. The tour is self-guided, and visitors may stay as long as they would like at each site. Ticket-holders may visit each garden only once. Cost is $15. The garden tour is presented by CHIRP for Garden Wildlife, Inc., and is sponsored by Viejas Outlet Center and San Diego Home/Garden Magazine. In addition to the garden tour, CHIRP is also sponsoring the Sage & Songbirds Festival at the Viejas Outlet Center May 2-3. For additional information, visit www.chirp.org or phone 619-445-8352.
