Gardens of the Hills
| Join us at this popular event. While the gardens are the stars, there is so much more to this event!
Your ticket will give you entry to six private gardens plus a special garden this year—the Brooks Bears School Garden. Visit them all on one day or spread your visits over both Saturday and Sunday. We are excited to showcase the Brooks Bears School Garden where elementary school students have the opportunity to enhance their understanding of what it takes to grow and maintain a vegetable garden. Including this garden aligns with Assistance League Sierra Foothills’ vision to enhance the lives of youth through community programs. You will have the opportunity to meet some of these young gardeners and will be impressed with their new-found passion for gardening and sharing the bounty of their garden with the community. When you visit this garden, you will be given two free tickets for the Gardens of the Hills raffle. In addition to the beautiful flowers and vegetables you will find many other features to make your day enjoyable. Our always-popular raffle will be in one of the gardens as will the Heartfelt and Handcrafted boutique featuring items designed and made by our members. For even more shopping pleasure there will be artisan vendors with a selection of garden-related items. Stop in the gardens and listen to music, hear a mini-seminar, talk with a UC Davis master gardener, and watch local artists paint. Additionally, purchase lunch or frozen yogurt. Find Nutmeg the squirrel in every garden and you will be entered in a drawing for a special prize. There are two new additions to the tour this year. Enjoy a 15-minute neck and shoulder massage in a quiet casita in one of the gardens ($15 for 15 minutes). And select a free, previously-loved book from our Second Blooms Library. You can purchase your tickets online (https://www.assistanceleague.org/sierra-foothills) beginning April 1st. After April 24th you can purchase tickets from our members or at the El Dorado Hills Welcome Center. |
