Nineteen Thousand Tulips in Bloom!

Celebrate spring with OLLI at Ananda Crystal Hermitage and its annual celebration of the season featuring 100+ varieties of colorful tulips! The grounds are also graced with multiple peonies, wisteria, azaleas, rhododendrons and pansies. The Hermitage near Nevada City is an intentional community founded more than 50 years ago and respects multiple beliefs and faiths. OLLI membership required.

Note: We will travel by luxury motor coach to the gardens, where you’ll enjoy free time to explore beautiful paths that meander through pools, waterfalls, statuary and a tiny chapel. Docents walk the gardens to answer questions. We’ll stop for a no-host lunch before returning to Davis. Be prepared for extensive walking on gently planned inclines and stairways. Wear sturdy footwear and comfortable clothing. The site is well-situated with benches and viewpoints, but is only partially accessible to wheelchairs and walkers. Contact olli@ucdavis.edu with accessibility concerns before registering.
