CCCGRS members, Donna Williams, Jim Williams and Greg Jackson put the final touches on our first large scale model railroad display presented at the San Luis Obispo Botanical Gardens (W. Kastner, image).

Central California Coast Garden Railroad Society members joined forces with the San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden (SLOBG) to celebrate “pollinators” during the SLOBG free day in June. This was the first occasion CCCGRS has had to share our passion for garden railroading with this audience! Everyone had such a great time, we plan to return for the SLOBG free day in July! Check our calendar regularly for updates.
