We are back at Crystal Hermitage Garden, Ananda Village in Nevada City. In my last post, I showed you the tulips planted by the volunteers and promised to show you more of the grounds. Well, I’m keeping that promise. Tulips are planted in October and bloom in April when the Tulip Festival is held. As of this writing the Festival is over, but many people enjoyed its beauty for the month and a half it was available.
The Garden is on three terraced levels. The bottom gives us a view of the mountains. In one picture you can see the gold top of the Temple where members and guests can meditate/pray.
The middle level shows the lovely gardens, pool, and gazebo.
The top level continues with rows of tulips and a small church.
This ends the 2022 tour. Hopefully, in 2023, they will plant again in October and receive guests in April.

These are beautiful photos. I would love to wander through, sit on a bench or two, and find joy is the beauty created by some very talented people.

Thank you Pat! It’s too bad that the garden only looks like that for 1 1/2 months. I’ll have to go up there this summer and just look at the mountains.

Beautiful photos and what a wonderful place to explore and take photos. I’m especially drawn to the two church photos. I love the one with the pathway leading up to the door. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Donna! Those gardens are beautiful. I’ll have to go back in the summer and see it without the tulips.
