19th Annual Mothers Day Art & Garden Tour with the San Dieguito Art Guild

San Dieguito Art Guild announces its 19th Annual Mother's Day Weekend Art & Garden Tour , Saturday and Sunday, May 11 and 12, 2013, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

This year’s self-guided tour of seven unique gardens meanders through the back roads of eastern Encinitas, historic Olivenhain and the eucalyptus-lined roads of Rancho Santa Fe.  This year’s gardens are easily accessible in a day but many visitors choose to take both days to complete the tour.

 Each elegant private garden will feature several San Dieguito Art Guild members who will have their artwork on display and for sale. All art pieces are unique and priced directly from the artists and include paintings, original drawings, fine art photography, sculptures, unique glass, metal and gourd art, and one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry.

 “Here’s a chance to skip the crowded restaurants and treat the favorite “moms” to a day of art and culture,” says Grace Swanson, Vice President of the Guild and participating artist.  “The Tour has become a North County tradition and offers a complete gift package.  You can explore beautiful gardens, see stunning art, and enjoy tasty treats at every stop…what more is there?”
