RHIS 2014 Garden Tour and Uncommon Plant Sale

Redlands Horticultural and Improvement Society is celebrating 125 years beautifying Redlands, by inviting the public to their 2014 Garden Tour, Exotic Plant Sale, and Art Shows, Saturday and Sunday April 26-27th. The 2014 RHIS Garden Tour theme is “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.” The Garden Tour includes four events. First on the list is the tour of six private Redlands gardens that are homeowner designed and maintained. Each garden on the tour is unique, insuring every visitor will return to their home with a “must do” list for their own home garden. Second and third, the Redlands Camera Club will show off its floral photo display at the Cutler Building, and the Redlands Art Association will have the Gallery full of flowers, artist's works, and florist's creations, all on display at the downtown gallery, located at 215 E. State Street, historic downtown Redlands. The fourth, and most popular event for many is the RHIS Uncommon Plant Sale. Again, this year there will be a fantastic selection of unique plants and trees for sale. Visitors will find everything from Acer (Japanese Maple) to Zephyranthes (Fairy Lily). Each year happy gardener’s leave with their car’s trunk filled with rare and exotic plants. The RHIS Plant Yard in located in Prospect Park by the Carriage House.
