Scripps Ranch Real Estate and Community Blog

One of the great things about living in a Scripps Ranch Home is the strong sense of neighborhood and the friendly Community of Scripps Ranch.  The Scripps Ranch Friends of the Library epitomizes this community spirit and provides a wonderful addition and supplement to the programs, materials and facilities provided by the San Diego Public Library System.  (In the interest of complete disclosure,  Rochelle Braunstein - a member of our team, earned  a Master of Library Science degree and worked as a professional Librarian for many years.)

Community volunteers run a second hand book store called Grace's Book Nook to raise funds for the purchase of new books for the Scripps Ranch Library.  Grace's book nook accepts donations of gently used books for resale from the first to the fifteenth of each month.

The Scripps Ranch Friends of the Library also funds and runs a number of wonderful cultural and educational programs at our library. Scripps Ranch residents and visitors are welcome.   The Programs for the month of May include:

Music Program. "The Pleasure of Your Cmpany"will present  violinist Paivikki Nykter and  and cellist Cecilia Kim in concert May 9th at 2:30 PM.

Sustainable Scripps Ranch hosts garden tour to help Scripps Ranch Houses save water.

On Saturday February 20, 2010  Sustainable Scripps Ranch,  a Scripps Ranch environmental organization, will be hosting a self directed tour of 25 Scripps Ranch Homes yards and gardens that feature low water landscaping and the use of water sparing native plants. 

The tour includes rare opportunities to view Scripps Ranch homes and townhomes with beautiful landscaping and many low-water landscaping styles. Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet many of the landscapers and contractors who created these designs.  This is a wonderful chance to get ideas for conserving water in your own garden and view some beautiful landscaping in Scripps Ranch Homes and become aquainted with the Sustainable Scripps Ranch organization.
