About the Garden

We have something for everyone! For horticulturists, more than 20 species of natives. For the ambitious, a walk up a 500’ path with amazing views and a welcoming oak bench. For relaxers, an oak log bench at the bottom with a view of the entire garden. Or sit beside the 12’ granite waterfall and listen to the soothing sound of the water flowing into the 1800-gallon lily pond. For kids, a garden railroad. For birders, hummingbirds, hawks, ravens, and quail. For perfumers, the heavenly scent of white sage. For architecture fans, Raphael Soriano’s International Style home.
