Shields planted his date grove in the Southern California desert. 90 Years later Shields Date Garden continues to grow the finest freshest dates and date products in the U.S.A. Preserving a tradition of hard work and excellence.When visiting Shields Date Garden, our guests are able to shop through our store, watch our film on the history of Shields and the date harvesting process, dine al fresco on our patio or inside our café dining room, and walk through our gardens while enjoying our famous date shake. As we continue to celebrate our 90th anniversary, we wanted to update everyone about our exciting year. For anyone [lanning a special event, we offer an outstanding opportunity for parties up to 250 people. Our patio is unequaled in its beauty and seclusion. The Walk at Shields (our garden path) winds through our 17 acres of towering date palms. Underneath their majestic canopies are 15 scenes that include 23 statues chronologizing Christ's life. We invite you to tour our magnificent garden.
