Friday, May 11 - National Public Garden Day 
Join us for this day of celebration to raise awareness of America's public gardens and their important role in promoting environmental stewardship and awareness, plant and water conservation, and education in communities nationwide. We will be offering self-guided tours of our Display Greenhouse and the Las Gabrielinas Garden Club will be hosting a table-setting demonstration in Frances Young Hall. 

Saturday, May 12 - Jewels of Nature: Hummingbirds in Your Garden 
Join artist and hummingbird rescuer Monique Rea for a presentation that will introduce you to a variety of ways to attract hummingbirds to your garden. Tips will be shared on what to do when you find a lost or injured hummingbird. There will be handouts with plant lists, book and DVD recommendations to further your enjoyment of these ‘Jewels of Nature”.  There will be a raffle and samples of her art work on display.  

Bring your family for a picnic at the Garden on Mother’s day. Picnics are not provided, so make sure to bring your own food or purchase some light snacks in The Gift Shop. The upper and lower meadows will be open for picnicking. Coolers, chairs, umbrellas and blankets are allowed.
