December 3, 2010 (Rancho San Diego)--The public is invited to enjoy holiday-merry making at The Water Conservation Garden’s third annual ‘Holiday in the Garden’ event. The five-acre water-saving garden will be illuminated with thousands of energy-saving lights, courtesy of SDG&E.

The glow of holiday lights will make an enchanting backdrop as visitors stroll the grounds and enjoy activities including a holiday marketplace, cookie decorating and craft-making for kids, photos with Father Nature, music, seasonal tamales and warm holiday punch.

 

 

On Friday night, the Poway 4-H Club will host a holiday petting corral where adults and children can get close up to goats, bunnies and other 4-H farm animals.

 

While on the grounds, visitors can view The Garden’s exhibits which offer tips for saving up to 70% of the amount of water used in home landscapes, against the glow of LED holiday lights that offer up to a 90% energy savings compared to incandescent lights.

 

The event is also a drop off point for canned goods for the San Diego Food Bank’s Holiday Food Drive. Anyone 13 years or older that brings in at least 2 canned goods for the food drive receives $1 off admission.
