Welcome 2013

Hello all, its been a few months since my last post. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. We sure did. Lots of fun with our little one and were fortunate enough to spend some good times with our family and friends.

We are super excited about this coming year. We have a lot of projects in the works currently with more on the horizon and there are some BIG changes coming as well...so stay tuned.

Wishing all of you a prosperous new year!!

Ocean Friendly Gardens (OFG) Del Mar Fair Exhibit

Make sure you check out the award winning Surfrider - San Diego Chapter, Ocean Friendly Gardens (OFG) installation at this years Del Mar Fair.

I am proud to have help install this great display of OFG principles with the other Surfrider volunteers. Through  conservation, permeability, and retention (CPR) in our residential and commercial gardens we can conserve water and reduce runoff in San Diego County. 

So stop by the display garden to see first hand these OFG principles and learn how you can apply them into your own garden.

VIGILUCCI'S BEACH BOCCE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2011

The sun is shining and Summer is officially here. Which means that its time once again for Vigilucci's Beach Bocce Ball World Championship! This is a great event that takes place this Saturday July 16, 2011 starting at 8:00 am out at "Dog Beach" in Del Mar, CA.

HDG has contributed for a court sponsorship and all of the proceeds go directly to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad. Its the 31st year of this event and it keeps on getting better every year. I think they raised about $70K last year!

So come out and join in the fun. If its too late this year to sign up for a team I suggest you get on it and sign up for next year. Check out www.beachbocce.com . And if your lucky you may even run into some yellow birds!
