A Winning Garden Continues to Grow

In May of 1984, Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens held its first event. Since then, the estate has expanded to thirty acres, and the facilities and grounds continue to grow.

Recently selected as a Proven Winners???(R)???AE???? Signature Garden, Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens in Fallbrook, Calif., announced upcoming expansion plans, which include 15 acres of additional thematic gardens, a winery and vineyard and a patio area overlooking the waterfalls of Compass Garden, whose construction began a little over a year ago.

Conceived and developed by Earl and Beverly McDougal, who, according to the estate's Web site, have deep family roots in this area of northwest San Diego County, the site is host to over 300 individual events a year ranging from symphony and jazz concerts, to community-wide special event celebrations to weddings and receptions.

In 2012, the McDougal family decided to open the estate to the public to view the nearly 20,000 Proven Winners and Proven Selections plants.

The next scheduled public event is called Jazz and Wine in the Gardens and will take place on September 21 from 2 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. More information is available here.
