Upcoming TIAA Travel Events Clark Gardens at Weatherford - Tuesday, May 11 - Visit spectacular gardens that have been featured on HGTV's Great American Gardens in addition to numerous magazines, newspapers and other publications. Three different G-scale model garden trains on 700 feet of track meander through a landscape of natural vegetation, trestles and small streams. Paths weave under seven-foot-high willow trestles next to a six-foot waterfall and over little bridges in the Garden Train area. "Clark Station" houses incredible towns of scaled-down buildings made of plant materials such as poppy seeds, acorns, grapevine tendrils, cinnamon sticks and pinecone scales. Over 100 trees lining the trails surrounding Emerald Lake are the genuine offspring of original historical trees that bore witness to the lives and events that shaped our nation, including a descendent of the Johnny Appleseed tree. We will depart Texins at 9 a.m., tour the gardens from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., then eat lunch at our own expense at the gardens and return about 3 p.m. Cost is $18 per member and $20 per nonmember.
