Succulent Serenity:This extraordinary garden showcases luscious succulents, courtyard container gardening and water conservation. With native plantings outside the courtyards plus a small fruit tree orchard, a unique walipini (greenhouse) is used to overwinter tender plants. The sheltered back courtyard features a perennial garden and thriving potted arrangements.

The Pollinator and Storybook Garden: The newest gardens feature edible spaces for people and pollinators.  The Pollinator and Storybook gardens were developed by the Sandoval Master Gardeners.  The Storybook Garden features artist and community generated art as well food from espalier fruit trees, raised beds for vegetables, strawberries, grapes and edible flowers. 

Casa Perea: This nearly two-hundred-year-old territorial building is surrounded by a wide variety of native plants, grasses, and old favorites: roses, lilacs, and lavender. Wisteria and trumpet vines drape from a hundred-foot-long pergola. Birds love their traditional fountain, and so will you!

Ex Novo: The newly added Garden of En space includes raised bed garden boxes filled with herbs used in their cocktail program. The space offers plenty of shaded seating, and two bocce courts for guests to enjoy.  The garden area is open for 21+ guests on the south end of the Corral.
