Description

In 1955 Arnold D. Haskell (1895-1977) bought the Norman's Nursery property at the corner of Dahlia Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway in Corona del Mar, California. The property included a small adobe house that he planned to use as his Orange County office. Shortly after occupying the adobe Mr. Haskell began landscaping the nursery site and the surrounding property. Mr. Haskell's concept for the property was gradually expanded to include the building of a beautiful garden that would be open to the public. It was to be a serene oasis - a respite from the stress and pressures of daily schedules. Typically (for he always shunned personal publicity) Mr. Haskell named the Library & Gardens after his mentor and benefactor, M.H. Sherman (1853-1932), and not after himself. (from the Sherman Gardens website: http://www.slgardens.org/) I'm going to spend a few days showing you some of the attractions starting with one of my favorites, the fuchsia.
