MURRIETA, CA—The Nature Education Foundation at the Santa Rosa Plateau announced the return of its "Spring into Swing" garden tour event.

It has been five years since the foundation has hosted this favored event. According to a recent news release, the event was planned for Saturday, May 18, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the William & Stephanie Lake Estate in La Cresta, on the Santa Rosa Plateau of Murrieta.

"After a five-year break due to the Tenaja Fire and COVID, the 'Spring into Swing' Garden Party will be held at the Nature and garden aficionados will be amazed at the many aspects of the 20-acre private garden estate nestled in the rolling hillsof La Cresta.

"Attendees can enjoy everything from seeing the nesting swans on the lake to strolling through lush fruit and rose gardens, visiting the bamboo and cactus areas, surveying the lavender and grape fields, and enjoying the shade of ancient oak trees.

"Guests will visit the “Artist’s Adobe” with its eclectic “Artist’s Garden” and be welcomed by a family of peacocks. The spokesperson said the property's unique feature is historical and decorative statuary, each with its own history.

"Garden and specialty vendors will be on site all day, including the UCR Master Gardeners whose booth will include “Topics of Discussion” for every level of gardeners. The garden will also host the “Spring into Swing” jazz mini concert by the Second Hand Jazz Band fresh from their performances at The Merc in Old Town Temecula. Lunch options are available from specialty food trucks and a wine bar, sold separately.

"The event is a fundraiser to support youth environmental stewardship and nature education programs in the community and at the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve. The programs, serving approximately 9,000 youth in grades 3-12 from ten local school districts, provide much-needed nature education experiences to students in Southwest Riverside County. TNEF provides all programs at no cost to participating schools and classrooms."
