The 2011 Encinitas Garden Festival & Tour was a huge success! Attendance was the largest ever, Mother Nature obliged us with a lovely warm day softened by cool ocean breezes, the vendors and sponsors enjoyed enthusiastic shoppers, and the speakers had audiences held at rapt attention.

The gardens, of course, were spectacular.

This year's tour featured well-established gardens along picturesque tree-lined streets and large lots with historic architecture, complimented by ocean and backcountry views. There were Mediterranean style gardens, succulent gardens, a Balinese garden, even an urban farm.

Visitors shopped, learned, at ate at the Gardeners’ Marketplace, situated in a meadow along the festival route. 

The tour committee would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the garden owners, vendors, sponsors, speakers, contributors, the many many volunteers, and all of our community partners without whom, this event would not be possible..
