Dave's Rock Garden

Dave demonstrates how to turn a serious negative into a positive. A trash-filled lot next to his home was an eyesore, but instead of getting mad he decided to turn it into a work of art. It's also a beautiful collaboration between unconnected people all over the globe - who have donated painted rocks to be placed in their new home in Encinitas. Plenty of eco-friendly succulents and native plants complete this peaceful and enjoyable place. Plan to spend time here - there are lots of rocks with beautifully painted pictures and messages. Make a day trip out of it! Dave supplies rocks and paint supplies so that you can leave your own mark. Bring a picnic lunch but please dispose of your trash properly! The garden is located on the corner of B St. and 2nd. (Submitted by Maria Lopez)
