Looking for a way to spice up this winter? How about an adventure? Or maybe 25 of them.
Shields Date Garden, a 17-acre farm founded in 1924, is a monument to the versatility of the date palm, a case study in mid-century marketing savvy, a repository of Christian statuary and a fine site for roadside signage. Look for the tall blue knight with the bright yellow shield.
This combination keeps the place remarkably busy, including its old fashioned shake counter ; its retail shop; its sprawling outdoor café; and the 105-seat theater which screens a slide show daily on “The Romance and Sex Life of the Date.” The slide show goes back to the early 1950s, when co-founder Floyd Shields was looking for a new way to lure more visitors.
These days, the slide show vies for visitors with The Walk, a path through the palms to statuary illustrating 14 scenes from the life of Christ. The statuary arrived about 10 years ago, having been relocated from a biblical garden in Vancouver, British Columbia. The fee for strolling The Walk is $5 per adult, children 12 and under free., chicken and waffles, many fruity snacks and many vegetarian and gluten-free options. It serves breakfast and lunch, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily.
