Art, Gardens and Inspiration Bloom on Mother’s Day Weekend
Looking for a Mother’s Day outing that feels relaxed, creative and distinctly North County? The 29th Annual Mother’s Day Weekend Art, Garden &amp; Studio Tour returns Saturday and Sunday, May 9 and 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.
Hosted by the nonprofit San Dieguito Art Guild, this beloved self-guided driving tour invites visitors inside eight private homes across North San Diego County — each offering a blend of art, architecture and distinctive gardens.
More than 30 Guild artists will exhibit and sell their work throughout the properties, including paintings, ceramics, glass, gourd art, fiber arts, photography and jewelry. Artists are stationed throughout the gardens, creating an open-air gallery experience where guests can meet makers, ask questions and purchase directly. Complimentary refreshments will be served at every stop.
Each home offers its own personality and setting. This year’s tour includes properties featuring a pool with a rocky waterfall and sweeping canyon views; dramatic subtropical and desert landscaping; a front yard devoted entirely to succulents; kinetic metal and mosaic yard art; multiple water features; and even resident goats (guests are welcome to greet them, but not touch or feed). Another stop showcases seventeen fruit trees alongside vibrant proteas and exotic succulents, while a coastal home offers a laid-back garden with a soothing fountain and brick fire pit.
Tickets are valid both days, and guests are welcome to revisit favorite homes. Many attendees make it an annual tradition — gathering mothers, daughters and friends for a leisurely weekend of beauty, creativity and connection.
The tour serves as the Guild’s primary fundraiser of the year. Proceeds support the Guild’s mission to promote artistic understanding and foster artistic growth within the community through education and outreach. A portion of net proceeds will be awarded to visual arts education programs. One featured home will also host TERi Inc., a nonprofit organization that supports individuals with special needs. TERi clients create and sell original artwork, with proceeds benefiting their programs and teachers.
Tickets are $40 per person and go on sale in early April. They may be purchased at Off Track Gallery (937 South Coast Highway 101, Suite C-103, Encinitas), online at SanDieguitoArtGuild.com, or at any tour home during the event. Well-behaved children 17 and under are free.
For more information, visit SanDieguitoArtGuild.com, email pr@sandieguitoartguild.com, or call 760-805-0434.

<h2>Why Most Homeowners Wait Too Long</h2>
Cracks spread. Water gets underneath. Costs go up.
