Sherman
Library & Gardens is a botanical wonderland.
Here you're surrounded with foliage of all kinds,
from the spiny cacti of desert regions to the
most exotic flowers oftropical climates. The
courtyards, tiled patios, greenhouse,  arbor-shaded
walks and fountains, and the fern-covered waterfall
accented with orchids create the ideal background
for any special event.
A
wisteria-covered arbor on the Tea Garden Patio
provides a sublime location for ceremonies.
Baskets swelling over with fuchsias and impatiens
in the warmer tones of pastel pink and white
hang overhead. The adjacent Pepper Tree Patio
shaded  by
a large and delicate-leafed pepper tree, is
a lovely spot for serving beverages and hors
d-oeuvres.
For
indoor receptions/events, Sherman Gardens offers
the Central Patio Room, a vintage space with
a cathedral ceiling, gray wood beams and skylights.
A large white-brick fireplace and terra-cotta
tiled floors create a warm and cozy atmosphere.
On warm evenings you can open the french doors
that line two sides and let your party overflow
onto the covered terrace. It's not surprising
that Sherman Gardens has become a sought-after
location for weddings and private parties; even
those with a green thumb will be impressed with
this little piece of paradise.
