Don't Miss: inBloom at Flower Hill Promenade

Del Mar’s Flower Hill Promenade just launched a new specialty event series called inBloom, a vibrant project two years in the making. From Saturday, May 6 through Sunday, May 28, vibrant floral displays and playful, bright additions adorn the center, while events and workshops will be led by local artisans and Flower Hill merchants. Additionally, inBloom’s Playhouse Palooza initiative will introduce to the promenade five life-size discovery playhouses for kids created by local construction companies and architects.  InBloom was created by San Diego real estate developer and Managing Partner of Flower Hill Promenade, Jeffrey Essakow in conjunction with Siena Randall and Leslie Randall of R&R Enterprises.
