Shields Date Garden

“The Romance and Sex Life of the Date” has been a hallmark feature of Shields Date Garden since founder Floyd Shields moved from in-person presentations to the movie screen. Floyd was a major innovator in date production nearly one hundred years ago. His Date Garden has been in business since 1924. The Romance film is an educational piece on date production and is shown daily at the Date Garden – it is a must see for all visitors. Shields is the go-to place in the Palm Springs area for date shakes and date ice cream. A luscious garden is available for special events and parties.
