Family Days in the Garden

Save the date for two family-friendly events this month at San Diego Botanic Garden. On Saturday, May 11, the Chocolate Festival will feature dozens of delectable tastings, demonstrations, a chocolate fountain, children’s activities, and a variety of Mother’s Day gifts. “Tasting” tickets will be sold on site. Then, May 16-18, the Endangered Species Day Celebration presents an opportunity to learn about the importance of protecting endangered species, and everyday actions that can help to protect our nation’s disappearing wildlife and last remaining open space. On all three days, visitors will enjoy a multitude of information from onsite gardening staff, free tours, and children’s activities. (760.436.3036, www.sdbgarden.org)
