Encinitas CA— Don’t miss San Diego Botanic Garden’s annual Chocolate Festival on Saturday, May 12 from 9 am – 4:30 pm. Your taste buds will thank you when savoring the many varieties of goodies created by nearly a dozen chocolate artisans.

She can enjoy the day relaxing in our beautiful garden oasis while sampling edibles made from the ground beans of the Theobroma cacao. Demonstrations and tips on creating delicious chocolate treats will also be featured at the Chocolate Festival.
Pick up the perfect Mother’s Day gift from one of our vendors or from the Garden’s Gift Shops featuring plants, jewelry, photography, specialty chocolate flavored soaps and unique garden-themed items every Mom loves!
