Many of our "Day-trippin" adventures have happened because of a recommendation from Westways Magazine, put out by the Auto Club. Yesterday's drive up to Thousand Oaks, about an hour and a half away, to see the Gardens of the World was one of those. According to the article, we learned this four and a half acre property is owned and operated by the Hogan Family Foundation, and as the plaque says, was dedicated to the citizens of the Conejo Valley on December 9, 2001. The park is open six days a week and admission is free. Ed and Lynn Hogan, the couple who founded Pleasant Holidays, a hugely successful tour company, designed the gardens to commemorate the various cultures of the world.
We were pleased to spend time in this immaculately kept park that was well staffed with friendly, knowledgeable volunteer docents. It was a beautiful sunny day - perfect for an adventure!
