Saturday we headed west toward Sonoma... again, beautiful! We passed enormous Tuscan-style wineries, English estates, and numerous mansions/factories/gardens all dedicated to making fine wines.
But we were headed to Cornerstone gardens...
This very ecclectic destination houses several small gardens, shops, and resturants. Cornerstone allows landscape artists, garners, and designers to create small squares of outdoor art. Some of these squares are beautiful, traditional gardens filled with seasonal flowers...
Or charming gazing ponds...
Others are more abstract...
Some are just plain quirky...
We spent a couple hours meandering through the gardens and then rummaging through an awesome construction salvage shop there too... so many stone pillars, wooden theatre seats, and concrete buddahs that would looks sooo cool in my garden at home.... but much too heavy to carry home on the plane :(
I highly recommend Cornerstone to anyone passing through Sonoma... a nice place to sober up between wine tasting at the very least!
