• Gardens of the World

    September 11, 2020 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F

    According to the brochure the Gardens are "bringing the beauty of the world to the Conejo Valley." I must agree that this garden is beautiful! Redwood trees, foliage, rock formations, Japanese Garden with Pagoda in the midst of a koi pond, and more! It is extremely beautiful and so peaceful!

    This 4.5 acre cultural landmark is privately owned and operated by the Hogan Family Foundation, lies quietly and discretely across the street from city hall! The different gardens represent Enland, France, Italy, Japan, and the California Mission Courtyard.

    Due to the current COVID-19, no photography allowed within the garden. According to a garden staff who greeted me, concerns about too many people congregating (i.e. posing for photos) in areas could be problematic! And they cordoned off so much of the areas one would hope to walk through.

    I was only able to capture one photo at the main entrance (with permission)! It was still worth it!
