A Taste of Spring

 

A taste of spring - for a quick infusion of spring stop by the Japanese Tea house in Piedmont located at 711 Highland Ave. This hidden gem was built in 1907 and was a replica of the late 15th century Silver Pavilion in Kyoto. It is surrounded by majestic redwoods and a variety of spring blossoms. Yes, you can take a few minutes to pause and soak in some natural beauty!

Rotary Peace Grove at Tilden Park

Image
High atop the hills of Tilden Park sits a serene sanctuary known as the Rotary Peace Grove. This section of the park was donated to Berkeley Rotary in 1955 when they began planting redwood trees. Each year, a different tree is dedicated to a leader in world peace and bronze plaques are displayed with the honorees' names at the base of each tree. The members of the Rotary club prune and  clean up regularly to help preserve the magic and the beauty. The hike to the grove makes a wonderful outing for the entire family.
