Over the weekend I had the honor and pleasure of taking a tour of the Squaw Valley Herb Garden<\/a>. I took my camera, knowing it would be a photo worthy experience, and I was not disappointed. I will be splitting this into two posts because of the number of beautiful things there were to photograph.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had passed these signs many times on my drive home. What I didn’t realize was the herb garden has tours all spring and summer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I hadn’t even made it in the gate and I found several wonderful things to take photos of. Rosemary and Tim have a wonderful collection of old signs cars and farm equipment. I may be requesting to take more photos there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rosemary, who owns and lives at the herb garden, gives a guided tour of the garden. Explaining the properties, and history of each herb as you experience all of the marvelous fragrances.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After you finish your tour of the garden you get to sit in the shade of the veranda and learn more about spices and herbs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rosemary makes her signature “Garden Tea” which is delicious! I purchased some to take home with me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Over the course of the tour I had several different types of teas made from a variety of herbs and spices. Because of that we had to hold onto our tea cups. Here is mine!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I will post more pictures later this week. Here is one more…one of the most breathtaking parts of the tour is the backdrop…the majestic sequoia mountains.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wish I could escape here every weekend!<\/p>\n

For more information check out the Squaw Valley Herb Garden’s<\/a> website HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More to come…<\/p>\n

P.S. Here is a sneak peek of a new pattern I am testing.\u00a0\u00a0If you aren’t a part of my mailing list be sure to sign up so you know when it is released and have access to coupons.<\/p>\n
