Gale Kissin and JoAnn Smith – 854 Martin Ln.
A feel of the southwest, with crushed gravel paths flowing past oceans of meadow grasses. Lively plantings throughout. A sinuous wall embraces the fire pit and leads to long views. Sculptures by Robyn Spencer-Crompton and Peter Crompton. Garden design talk by Maile Arnold at 2 pm.

Ann Chambers – 8490 Occidental Rd.
Ann, a Master Gardner, has developed many garden rooms: one of natives, another dedicated to shade lovers, a food garden in apple boxes, and a trellis area with pipe vine, hops, and kiwi. This is home to Greencraft Studio, originator of “woven” wisteria and figs. Carolyn Horan will display her whimsical sculptures. And, stop by the Master Gardener's table to ask questions about plants, and receive handouts on free talks. Ask all your gardening questions here!

Jackie and Tim Reuling – 8600 Templeman Rd.
A mature English-style garden which reflects the joy of outdoor entertaining. Raised cinder block beds, sweeps of lavender and roses, surrounded by award-wining vineyards. Sculpture by Warren Arnold. Enjoy poetry in the garden at 3 pm.

Carole Lansdown – 5720 Pride Rd.
One has the feel of being in Europe here – the only garden of such design in our area. Focused on the well laid out perennial shrubs and trees, the garden includes: a tea house, green house, trellises, fountain, parterre, and pebble mosaics all designed by Carol. This garden is a sculpture in itself.

Kathy and Ted Klopp – 1855 Laguna Rd.
This very large garden, embraced by Klopp Ranch pinot noir grapes, has many areas to explore: perennial flower beds, veggie beds, a green house where starts are begun, unique container gardens. Metal sculptures by Susandra Spicer and Jan Schulz, and antique plantings by Theresa Joyce will be displayed.
