If the gate is open, make your way in to stroll around the paths, find one of the many different seating sections, relax by the pond , make out in the corner or sit up in the clubhouse. All charm here.

Was awesome to stumble upon this green oasis in the city . Local musicians play live on Sundays in the summer. Grab some company and enjoy the scene.

Small and hidden, but when it's open and you can find a space, great place to savour the gardens and think.

Garden 6 b/c; an old French woman cared for it in the OD. We paid $10 each month for a key

you'll never want to leave. if you sit at the lil pond long enough, you might see a turtle 's head peek up out of the water.
