So I had donated to this benefit for Pacificans for Highway 1 Alternatives, folks trying to fight the Hwy 1 widening project.  The benefit was held at Shelldance Nursery, an orchid nursery, and though I frequently hike the trail that starts from its parking lot, I had never been inside as it is usually closed.  (Turns out it’s open weekends only.)

Well what a little hidden gem!  It was just beautifully arranged with plants overflowing everywhere, and light coming through the ceiling and walls.  The succulents were just as gorgeous as the orchids. They had a little stage the bands were playing on, and a lovely meditation/yoga room.  What a great vibe.

Here’s a link to their page, you should check them out if you find yourself in town.  shelldance.com
