New Dawn's 16th Annual Garden Tour

SPONSORED BY:
CAMBRIA PINES NURSERY & FLORIST • AMONG FRIENDS

For over a dozen years, a grassroots crew of garden-loving New Dawn Montessori School parents, and the school's tireless director, have laid the groundwork for the annual Cambria Garden Tour Extravaganza -- a major fundraising event for New Dawn. Over the years the tour has budded, blossomed, and is now in full bloom each Spring. As one of the most beloved and anticipated community events on the Central Coast, the Garden Tour attracts an evergrowing community of gardening enthusiasts who travel from near and far to attend.

Tour guests this year will experience the aesthetic possibilities of tranquil forest gardens, a flourishing drought-tolerant habitat, an art-infused naturescape, and the ever-classic Cambria backyard habitats. Once again, local restaurants* will present a menu of tasty treats and local musicians will harmonize with the visual beauty at each site. Several gardens this year will also display paintings and sculpture provided by some of Cambria's finest visual artists.

The day's garden walk begins with an orientation and continental breakfast on the beautiful grounds of the Cambria Nursery & Florist. The grand finale will bring guests back to the inspiring Cambria Nursery for a Gala Dessert Reception provided by Linn's, and a Raffle Prize Drawing supported by the generous Cambria Business Community. Tickets sell out fast, so don't hesitate to reserve your place! Call the Ticket Hotline at (805) 909-2181.
