Sherman Library and Gardens: A Garden Oasis

November 13, 2014 by greystar

Meander through Sherman Library and Gardens and take in the beauty of botanicals from all over the world. Featuring a collection of plants and sculptures that can’t be found elsewhere, this garden oasis offers an around-the-world experience that can be soaked up in one long afternoon.

After your visit, be sure to stop in to the Café Jardin to refuel with aromatic teas, fruit and chocolate scones, and tea sandwiches in flavor combinations like herb infused cream cheese and red pepper, roasted turkey and green apple curry spread, and cheese and watercress on cranberry bread.
