Sherman Library and Gardens, Botanical garden in Corona del Mar, California.
The Sherman Library and Gardens spans 2.2 acres with patios, conservatories, flower beds, and fountains displaying desert plants and tropical vegetation.
Arnold D. Haskell established the gardens in 1955 after purchasing Norman's Nursery property, naming it after his mentor M. H. Sherman.
The gardens host monthly educational programs including wellness workshops, floral design classes, library lectures, and plant exhibitions for the community.
