Tour at your own pace . . . Six Private Gardens in Borrego Springs

1. Loaded with Comfort - The smoke tree welcomes you to this beautiful, mature Southwest garden. The patio is loaded with outdoor comfort, dining and places to sit and enjoy the pool, hot tub, tasteful landscaping and views of Indian Head.  The secret patio with roses and hibiscus completes the scene.

2. Bright Desert Colors - Enter the gate and behold the color in this private patio garden.  Discover new ideas for combining flowering plants with colorful rocks and tiles in your own garden.  The pool has unobstructed views of Borrego Palm Canyon, outdoor showers, and delightful desert landscaping.

3. Wide Open Spaces - This get-away retreat for the owners and their family started back in the 1980s. Today, you will be greeted by life-size metal horses and a bighorn ram and see healthy, happy cactus in their prime—find Cardon, Brazilian Saguaro, and Trichocerus—along with an old Palo Verde providing shade for viewing the San Ysidro Mountains.

4. Dinosaurs and Cactus - Don't be frightened by the fierce metal dinosaurs by Ricardo Breceda, whose sculptures are the talk of Borrego Valley! Just walk up the cactus-lined driveway to find a private deck and path to the pool lined with more amazing cactus, and the surprise of Renaissance sculptures throughout.

5. Borrego Waterfront - Walk the bridge over the stream with seven waterfalls to this dazzling desert oasis that surrounds the Drew Hubble designed straw bale home.  Immerse yourself in 4.5 acres of palms, water, Southwest flora, citrus, vegetables, unique hardscape, and incredible views. Truly inspiring!

6. Artistic Privacy - Enter through the glorious John Richen gate to find a personal, art-filled garden.  You can explore the eight different and intimate patios, sit by the pool with long vistas, and round the lemon hedge to another world of lavender, ceramics, and green space.  A special place.

Tickets purchased online will receive email confirmation. Pick up your tickets the morning of the tour, along with a map to the gardens, at the ABDNHA Nature Center, 652 Palm Canyon Drive.
