Sherman Library & Gardens is a 2.2 acre Corona del Mar horticultural retreat.
The Gardens provide a museum of living plants, displayed amidst a setting of immaculate gardens, patios and conservatories linked together by wide brick walkways, beds blooming with seasonal flowers and bubbling tile fountains. The Library is a specialized research center devoted to the study of the Pacific Southwest.

We currently have over 150 hard-working, dedicated volunteers that help wherever needed, donating thousands of hours annually tending baskets and flower beds, and working in the greenhouse and Garden Shop.

The Docent Guild of Sherman Library & Gardens was founded in 1980. Over time, the group has grown to 60 full-time members. The primary function of the Docent Guild is to provide educational tours of the Gardens.

We're located in the Corona del Mar Village (directions) and offer a wide range of programs and classes for the community.
