A WALK IN WOODLAKE BOTANICAL GARDEN
A Colorful #OneHourWalk through Fruit Trees & Flowers
On this episode of Big Blend Radio’s “Travel Tulare County” Show, Manuel and Olga Jimenez give an overview of Woodlake Botanical Garden (formerly Bravo Lake Botanical Garden), in Tulare County, in California’s Sequoia Country.
Located in Woodlake, right next to Bravo Lake. Woodlake Botanical Garden makes for a gorgeous garden destination complete with a backdrop of the picturesque Sierra Nevada Mountain range. The garden showcases San Joaquin Valley’s agricultural bounty with fruit trees, row crops, and vegetable patches, along with ornamental shrubs, roses, and flower beds. A perfect place to enjoy a garden stroll, there is a wheelchair-accessible trail with benches for visitors to sit and relax in the flower-filled tranquility and soak up the color of all the vibrant blossoms, as well as watch the local birds and wildlife.
Opened in 2003, the garden got its start from Woodlake Pride, a volunteer program started by Manuel Jimenez and his wife Olga, to get local youth to work on community and beautification projects.
The garden is located at 342 E. Naranjo Blvd. just east of Hwy 245, Woodlake, CA 93286. For hours and more information, call (559) 280-2483 or follow the garden on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WoodlakeBotanicalGardens
