If you've got some children who have not yet been exposed to model railroads, I have a great place to get them that exposure. You just might find some interesting plants to buy for your home, too.
My two favorite plant nurseries in San Diego County are Simpson's Garden Town Nursery in Jamul and Walter Andersen's Nursery in Poway. Both of them are much, much more than just plant nurseries.
For example, Walter Andersen's Nursery in Poway has a huge garden railroad. It's usually not running when I go by, but I was at a recent home inspection up in Poway and we stopped by after the inspection. The Garden Railroad was not only running, but they have changed from running it two days a week to running it daily from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
If you're in the neighborhood, stop by and just relax watching the many trains travel through the jungles and tunnels, over the bridges, and by the waterfalls. You'll be amazed. There is no admission for this entertainment, although after spending a couple of hours gazing at the trains and the layout, you might feel obligated to buy a plant or two.
Walter Andersen Nursey is located at 12755 Danielson Court, Poway, California, 92064. Following is a slide show with 45 slides, starting with the old car at the entrance.

Jom,
I have never heard of this place before...I enjoyed the slide show. Do you have any idea how long it took them to build this, its amazing! It's a smart way to attrack customers.
Hey Jim, great slide show. Did you get a new camera too?
We have to ask, do you type your blogs somewhere else and copy and paste? They always look better than the average blog.
Hey, Jim. I could not imagine all the hard work it took to complete such a project. How awesome and I love the huge duck decoy in photo #12. Thanks, Jim
Hey, Linda - The railroad has been there since the day they opened, so no one knows how long it took to build it. It takes up about a third of the nursery, though. It's huge.
Hey, Al and Peggy - Russel set up my ActiveRain blog template for me. Occasionally I mess it all up and he fixes it for me. I'm not very HTML literate.
The new camera belongs to someone else. He hasn't let me use it yet. :(
Hey, Jim - I could sit out there for hours and watch the trains go around, watch the rivers flow, watch water flow over the waterfalls, and watch the ducks swim. Oh, wait. That's right. It's a decoy duck. Well, they do have a lot of butterflies and hummingbirds around.
That is really neat thank you for sharing, I would like to see that seems really neat. Its like a little town.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Kim White
Hi Jim: Watching trains is a lot like watching fish in an aquarium.
:)
Jim, congratulations on your blog, very nicely done. My wife and I are also Walter Anderson devotees and spend much time and money there. The results are wonderful, working from home I get to enjoy the really great garden my wife, Kay has designed.
