SIMPSON'S NURSERY Wednesday, May 14 13925 Hwy. 94, Jamul 9:15 am Meet at Bennigan's near Macy's in Fashion Valley to Join Caravan 9:30 am SHARP Caravan Departs 10:00 am Meet at the Nursery 11:30 am Lunch at Filippi's This is unique. It is a wonderful, 25 acre nursery with hidden delights of metal sculpture, antiques and garden decorations scattered around the grounds. There are two barns with beautifully restored cars, trucks, and delivery vans and a row of vintage Airstream trailers. One barn is full of hot rods and cars from the 40's through the 70's and the other showcases Model A's and T's. Don't think you need to be a car-show person to enjoy this place. It is an experience, a walk down memory lane and all free--well except for the plants you will want to buy at such reasonable prices. It's an easy drive, about 25 minutes from Mission Valley to the Intersection of Campo Rd/Hwy 94 and Proctor Valley Rd., Jamul. (TG 1292 H2) Share the ride and join us for a caravan from Bennigan's. You'll have more time to visit, save gas, and it makes for easier parking! Lunch will follow across the street at 11:30 AM at Filippi's Pizza Grotto, 13881 Campo Rd., Jamul, 619-669-1080.
