A true hidden gem. It was a lovely time, and for free too! They have rose gardens, beautiful fountains, shrubs, a Japanese garden, and a Spanish garden with murals of all the California missions.

Beautiful and serene environment. Very clean and extremely well taken care of. The only disappointing part is you cannot take pictures in this beautiful place. You can take a selfie but you cannot take pictures of others. Yes I agree, it does not make sense, but that's their rule. And someone is always watching.

Beautiful! My first time here and wonder why I hadn't gone before! There are differing sections of a variety of garden styles from around the world. My favourite was the Japanese garden with bamboo and a koi fish pond! The gorgeous architecture, water features, atmosphere with so much plant life and nature makes you forget there's a main road right next to it. There's also a small spot with picnic benches. But, you need to make reservations for any big gatherings, can't just show up. My only issue is the small sparse number of parking spaces and the size of the parking spots that are available - we found a spot on a Saturday late morning, but you could park your car nearby and walk to the garden as well if you don't want to risk it. Doesn't seem like the place gets too crowded. But overall, beautiful and worth strolling through!

Beautiful place to visit with a loved one or loved ones. We spent 45mins taking selfies and photos of mostly the whole garden. Video is prohibited told to us by the helpful and friendly staff.

Yes. And the staff will be every place in the garden to remind you they are closing in 30 minutes... 20 minutes, 15 minutes, ECT. 45 minutes to an hour is good for a slow walk through the gardens.
