While everyday may be a Saturday when you’re retired, it doesn’t mean you can’t plan for a great weekend with your loved one! We suggest adding the following two destinations to the itinerary next time you feel like taking a drive out of Englewood.

First, visit Minter Gardens to see 32 acres of beautiful flora. Opened in 1980, Minter Gardens features 12 uniquely themed gardens and has a plant shop where you can add to your own garden. Nestled against Mt. Cheam, Minter Gardens is only a 15-minute drive away from Englewood Courtyard.

Our second recommended stop is also only 15 minutes away from Englewood. Meadowlands Golf & Country Club is the perfect place for a recreational round of golf. This public golf course offers a scenic mountain view to accompany 5400 yards of golfing.  For those who might not want to golf, Meadowlands offers a great dining experience.

Next time you and your better half decide to get out for a weekend, we hope you’ll consider one (or both!) of our recommendations.
