Half Moon Bay Coastside's "Tour des Fleurs"

The Half Moon Bay Coastside Chamber of Commerce & Visitors’ Bureau presents their 21st Tour des Fleurs on Saturday, July 21, 2012.

Tour des Fleurs offers the public a special, once-a-year opportunity to tour the local nurseries, greenhouses, wineries and farms, many of which are not ordinarily open to the public. Some will share helpful tips to pruning and caring for flowers, others will share their key to an efficient operation whether it’s a nursery or winery, and some will share their colorful and fascinating family history and how it shaped their businesses today.

Special flower gardens, organic herbs and field greens, California native plants surrounded by streams and waterfalls, a working dairy farm, grass fed livestock, a horse farm, a Coastal Farmer’s Market tour, Pillar Point Harbor and sustainable fishing, and an abundance of potted plants of every variety await visitors on this year’s Tour des Fleurs.

Each tour package takes visitors to three different locations, who will drive themselves to each place for a one hour guided tour. Visitors can choose from six different tour packages; each package costs $20.
