    Interested in exploring some unique and fascinating plants in a stunning setting?

    We're excited to kick off the return of SDHS member only open garden tours with the ever-popular, imaginative, and whimsical Fallbrook garden of Wanda Mallen and Gary Vincent. You'll be astonished by the horticultural paradise they've cultivated.

    As passionate plant collectors, they have grouped various types of plants together, alongside numerous trees and specimens across their two-acre botanical marvel in Fallbrook. This garden showcases wonderful examples of cacti and succulents, palms and cycads, Australian natives, and conifers—all presented with Wanda and Gary's vibrant and artistic flair. Wanda is wonder with wild and creative use of color, while Gary is a master at building creative and fanciful bird houses. The garden is flat and easily accessible, featuring many winding paths through different areas. There are plenty of seating spots to relax and take in the scenery.

        Conclude the year and celebrate the winter solstice with a self-guided tour of Jim Bishop and Scott Borden's hillside garden in Mission Hills. Many of the large aloes and drought-tolerant plants are currently in full bloom.

        Their 1930s Spanish-revival style house and garden in Mission Hills offer views of Mission Valley. Scott and Jim have been cultivating the steep hillside for 24 years. In 2003, they transformed an old, cold swimming pool into a walled garden featuring a stair tower and an outdoor room for entertaining. More recently, rock mosaic paths descend the terraced hillside to a spacious mosaic landing five stories below the house, surrounded by gardens with low-water plants from South Africa, Australia, the Mediterranean, and South America. The front of the house boasts a newly updated succulent and bromeliad garden, along with numerous potted plants in the courtyards and terraces, plus thousands of recycled bottles and found objects throughout the garden.

        Last year's project introduced a large moon arch and opened access to a new section of the garden.
