Our first stop was Sherman Gardens and Library! A beautiful and venerable private garden, open to the public! It contains many mini-gardens inside.
One thing we wanted to determine was how the self-guided tour worked. You first call the number, which is 949-610-8300.
And then you can enter the numbered stops to learn more!
Here are the various garden areas.
You can start anywhere, but we started with the start. "Sherman Gardens Introduction."
Exploring is hungry work, so there's also a Cafe and restaurant! The smells were delicious, but the prices were really a bit much- so we picnicked instead!
Here's all of it. They've managed to pack an amazing variety of displays into a pretty small space! There are outdoor displays and greenhouse ones, too.
You can go from succulents to perennials to orchids in very few steps! They also do seasonal displays, and invite guest artists to decorate the gardens with all sorts of creations.
