The Long Beach Real Estate Home Blog is pleased to welcome guest author, Buffalo New York Realtor, Colleen Kulikowski.

 

 

Summer is a great time to enjoy and show pride in Southern California gardens. Many communities show great pride in their gardens. One such community is that of Buffalo NY . One weekend each year over 300 home owners open their gardens to the community and celebrate GardenWalk weekend. Imagine 10,000 people enjoying gardens on a summer weekend .

 

The California Heights Historic District celebrates its 12th Annual Home and Garden Tour on Sunday, October 19, 2008. A trolley will be provided, visitors are welcomed to walk, its a great neighborhood to take a stroll in! The 2007 flyer can be viewed here with lots of pictures and details.

 


 

Long Beach also has several public gardens for its residents to enjoy nature's beauty:

 

Do you live in a Long Beach Condo and crave a garden of your very own? Guess what you are in luck! You too can enjoy planting a garden and growing flowers and vegetables. Conceived in 1976, the Long Beach Community Garden provides membership to Long Beach residents for just $50 a year. A grass roots organization run by its members helps keep this organization running.


The Long Beach Community Garden Association is located at 7600B E Spring Street in Long Beach, across from Animal Control. Thousands of pounds of produce from the gardens feed the less fortunate of our community through the generous donations of the members of the Long Beach Community Garden. The association invites you to their annual Tomato Festival Saturday, July 26, 2008, 11 AM - 2 PM.


Not interested in the public gardening program? Want to enhance your Long Beach Condo patio? Try filling planters with flowers! Bring a little bit of garden beauty to your home. Enhance your Long Beach home by showing pride in it.

Happy Independence Day

Happy Independence Day-Compliments of Long Beach Realtor, Laurie Manny

Come out and enjoy the Long Beach Fireworks spectacular from the Queen Mary, in Downtown Long Beach, scheduled for 9:00 PM, this is not a display that you want to miss.  You will want to reserve a space for viewing early in the day because the shoreline areas become a huge parking lot as traffic comes to a grinding halt until the show is over.  The Queen Mary will be hosting an all day event 10 AM to 10 PM, with live bands and many children's activities.  For more information, call 435-3511 or visit www.queenmary.com


Rainbow Lagoon Park Kicks off the 2007 Seafest Concert Series and Fireworks show at 3 PM with a spectacular ocean view.


Veterans Memorial Stadium hosts the Long Beach Fire Department/s 50th Annual fireworks show at 9 PM, gates open at 5 PM, entertainment is the order of the day here with the police showing off their K-9 dogs, helicopter show, bands, clowns...  Sounds like a great time. 


The Bluff Heights Neighborhood Association is hosting a neighborhood block party from 1 to 6:30 on Vista Street between Orizaba and Obispo Avenues.  A dog parade is planned, along with a chili contest, music dancing and other children's activities. 


Please remember that fireworks are illegal in Long Beach and they are dangerous.  


Happy Independence Day

Have a Safe Holiday
