The casino’s summer installations are displayed for the most extended time, lasting 12 weeks and running until September. “It takes us about four to five months from the time we design and get the concept to build and then install,” Bowlen said. Other installations include Lunar New Year, Spring, Fall/Harvest and Holiday. “California Dreaming” is part of the five different horticulture installations hosted at the casino throughout the year. “The installation is based on California’s natural beauty, from the beaches to the mountains and the cities,” said Jerry Bowlen, director of horticulture. It also emphasizes some of the themes associated with the season such as boats, fishing rods, and a Volkswagen bus with surfboards by its side. The collection of fixtures highlights the state’s iconic landmarks, such as the Golden Gtate Bridge and the Hollywood sign. Yaamava’ Resort & Casino’s latest horticulturist installation, “California Dreaming,” is part of this year’s summer display.

They’re also making their way into an unlikely setting: a casino. Sandy surfboards and colorful beach balls are signals for the upcoming summer, but these seasonal staples aren’t just for the outdoors.
