Celia's Rainbow Garden

Stay on Plymouth to see fighter jets near Library. Lots of cute shops nearby and "best jerky." Nice place for sunset, bring good shoes.

Celia's Rainbow Garden includes "Adamsville," a miniature village started in 1974 by Babe and Babs Adams at the RV park they lived at in Castle Rock. They donated the village to the Quartzsite Historical Society, who restored it and placed it here in 2001.

Celia's Rainbow Garden

A free botanical garden in honor of Celia, who passed away at age 8. She loved life, animals, nature, etc. People put memorials of their loved ones there. There is one made of rocks in the shape of Michigan, including the Mackinaw Bridge. Definitely worth a stop.
