Black Phoebe During Visit to Shields Date Garden (Indio, California) - August 1st, 2024
In Palm Springs for the 2024 Barbie Convention. I spent the morning on Thursday August 1st, 2024 at Shields Date Garden in Indio, California. Very cool place to visit (no I did not get a shake), but I learned about Dates and bought some for Jeremy. Walked around the gardens and saw "The Walk." From their site - "In 2011, William and Lillian Vanderzalm contacted Shields Date Gardens with a wonderful opportunity. The Vanderzalm’s owned a biblical garden in Vancouver, Canada. They had recently sold the property and were looking to relocate the statues to the Palm Springs area. The details were finalized and on March 1, 2011. Shield’s horticulture and landscape team then began construction. The Garden was open on a limited basis October 2012 and fully completed October 2013. The garden path winds through our 17 acre date farm. It depicts 14 scenes and includes 23 statues that chronologized Christ’s life." All in all, a cool way to spend the morning....well, it was hot, but tolerable in the morning.
