Sherman Library and Gardens in Corona del Mar

Sherman Library and Gardens is located in Corona del Mar on a little over two acres, and is a horticultural museum. Located right off Coast Highway, and surrounded by homes in the Village of Corona del Mar, you feel as though you are in a tropical paradise. Sherman Gardens is a research library and focuses in the areas of California, Arizona parts of Nevada, and the Pacific Southwest. Because it is a research library, the materials do not leave the premises as opposed to other libraries.
Sherman Library and Gardens

Founded in 1966 by Arnold Haskell, Sherman Library and Gardens was originally named in memory of Moses H. Sherman who was an educator. Sherman Gardens has a large volunteer base who assist with caring for the plants and flower beds. There are also Docents whose primary function is to provide tours which are educational for visitors and students. Appointments can be made for these tours.

Do they have wi-fi there?             Please tell me no - it would be criminal (even though I really thought about it for a minute or two). LOL

Absolutely amazing pictures.  My son was stationed 4 years while in the Navy in that area, and loved it while there.  But with your weather, how could you not love it!
