| Tehachapi Walkabout |

| We wander the tree-shaded meandering paths on 20 acres of over 2,200 different species that transformed this naturally lovely landscape into an international botanical wonderland. Spring will find some of us going back. |
| Several hours later we enjoyed our packed lunches under the canopy of old oaks amidst glorious Fall colors, then onto our next stop at the Tangleweed Organic Farm. |
| Laurie Thorpe, owner and guide, shares her knowledge and smiles while walking us around her farm and gift shop. Just under three acres of land has become both functional as a source of food production and aesthetic as a simple source of beauty. Tangleweed Farm serves as an earthen piece of artwork upon which a slightly different picture is painted with each passing season. For more information Click Here |
| Next stop: The Pulford Appletree Orchard where fifteen varieties of apples flourish on over 2,000 trees. For more information Click Here |
| Some of us continued to The Tehachapi Museum while others headed back to the valley stopping at Murray Farms before heading home. Another wonderful relaxing day out with gardening friends. |
Thank you Rose Mary for setting up this great day for us.
