Open House Poster 2 2008

If you're seeking garden inspiration, look no further than the Central Park Gardens Open House on Wednesday, October 1st from 4:30 to 7:00 pm in Central Park.  Pick up dinner at the Davis Farmers Market Picnic in the Park, enjoy live music on the lawn, and then come on over to explore the gardens!  A stroll through the gardens will reward you with practical seasonal gardening information from Master Gardeners, free flower seeds, food tastings fresh from the garden, and fun children's activities until 6:30 pm.  The volunteer-planted demonstration gardens feature roses, plants to attract butterflies and hummingbirds, fragrant herbs, California natives, vegetables, and more.

A special attraction at this year's Open House will be the unveiling of a new ceramic mosaic sculpture in the Rose and Flower Garden near the Teen Center.  Mosaic artist Mark Rivera has designed the piece to feature exquisite, hand-sculpted hummingbirds and butterflies visiting garden flowers.  Funded by the City of Davis Art Contract program and a gift from the Wardrobe, this sculpture is bound to be a captivating addition to the garden.  Take advantage of this unique opportunity to meet the artist and learn about his creative process.
