If you've enjoyed my past garden related tours, this one is going to be nice 'local' treat. Make sure to bring your camera to take pics of all the beautiful things you will see on this trek.

We will first visit the Greystone Park and Mansion at Beverly Hills right when they open at 10 AM. If you get lost, Robert's cell is [masked] (write it down).

Its a beautiful, park like setting with a very European feel to it. We won't be able to enter the actual mansion itself, but the garden and mansion grounds is a destination point on its own. And did I mention that parking and admission is FREE? What a perfect way to enjoy the otherwise expensive 90210.

After Greystone, we will head over to a local restuarant called Aroma Cafe for some Croatian cuisine. Never had Croatioan food before? This is your chance to sample it with a group. ideally, we will do family style dining to try as many dishes as possible. I'm estimating the average cost will be about $20 per person, not including drinks and tip.

Finally, we will wrap up our garden adventure at Pacific Palisades at the SRF Lake Shrine. This is another beautiful garden with a lake, flowers and koi and a gorgeous setting. Best of all, its also FREE. They also have free parking but if its filled, then park on Sunset Blvd.

       The gardens were absolutely stunning. It was my first time at Greystone and Shrine Lake. The best part is that it is FREEEE! Wonderful way to start off the July 4th weekend. 
    •  Going to 2 venues in one day and then a fantastic lunch was really fun. 
    •  Both the gardens were beautiful, but I especially liked Lake Shrine....so serene!!! 
    •  Another fantastic meetup, beautiful gardens delicious lunch! Thanks Robert
