A compact, historic sunken garden featuring formal beds, stone paths, ponds and mature trees — ideal for intimate nature and garden detail shots, architectural textures and reflections. Best in spring for blooms or golden hour for warm light; weekday mornings minimize visitors. Small parking lot on El Camino Real; generally free public access and wheelchair-friendly paths. Watch for shaded pockets that create contrasty light.
