ENCINITAS — Local resident, Dave Dean, has created Dave’s Rock Garden to be used for meditation, rock painting and other activities. This garden, on B Street, is city-owned and was previously a plot of land overgrown with weeds. It’s now a beautiful area for people to enjoy as they make their way down to Moonlight Beach.
It’s a partnership with surrounding businesses as well, as both refer to each other when it comes time for places to go or to eat. A fundraising event will take place from 1 to 8 p.m. Oct. 10 at Cali Cream Homemade Ice Cream on North Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas.
Krown Family Films will be hosting the event, which will feature Encinitas musician Justin Froese performing from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. and magician Mike Stilwell, entertaining from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m., while visitors wait in line for ice-cream. People can purchase raffle tickets for items given by some of the local businesses. There will also be giveaways and mini rock painting.
Wanting to make a difference in the community of Encinitas was a big reason the garden was created. Funding the upkeep of the garden from the beginning with plants, rocks, paint and other items has been pretty much Dave’s doing. Additional assistance from local “Friends of the Garden” has helped as well. This fundraiser hopes to reach more of the Encinitas community and will help provide monies so Dave’s Rock Garden can continue to provide enjoyment.
Currently, a Docu-Series called, “Making a difference in their community; Dave’s Rock Garden,” is a Krown Family Films project. Encinitas is the first city in a series being filmed that showcase how communities are coming together.
