Garden Tour to hit high spots
Just in
time for Mother’s Day, the Santa Ynez Valley Garden Tour will take place on May
10, offering stops at some of the Valley’s most elegant private green spaces.
The theme
of the tour is “Just Beyond the Garden Gate.” Proceeds will benefit the Santa
Ynez Valley Historical Society and Museum and Carriage House.
This is
the fourth year for the tour, which has proved popular in the past. The tour
will finish up at the Historical Society Museum with a late afternoon wine and
appetizer reception.
Participants
will see three of the Valley’s most prized landscapes. For those who are garden
hobbyists, there will be exposure to innovative ideas, as well as a chance to
appreciate the Valley’s natural beauty.
The tour
begins at the Historical Museum in Santa Ynez, 3596 Sagunto St. It will include
a wine reception back at the Museum, where tickets are on sale.
Participants
will be given a driving map to the featured properties. At each garden, there
will be members of the Historical Society’s Garden Club stationed to give
information and safety tips. While they are at the reception, raffle prizes
will be distributed. Ticket holders will be entered into the raffle drawing
when they return to the Museum reception.
Tickets
are $30 each, and also will be sold at the Book Loft in Solvang. Tickets also
may be purchased by telephone, (805) 688-7889.
Letters
to the Society should be mailed to P.O. Box 181, Santa Ynez, CA 93460.
