The gardens are natural works of art, which are now complemented by the figural, natural and abstract forms of the sculptures. The collection of artwork (encompassing a variety of mediums) integrates with the uniqueness of the estate.
“While historic, the casa remains alive with the creative legacy of the original owners,” said Jessica Tade, Casa del Herrero executive director. “Through this exhibition, we are collaborating with local artists while also continuing to make good on our desire to support the continued vibrancy of the arts in our community.”

When Carlsbad resident Sharon Corrigan visited the 37-acre Montecito botanical garden Lotusland with the San Diego Horticultural Society, she was bowled over.
“I’m not one to remember botanical names of plants,” Corrigan said, “but I was enchanted and excited by plants I knew as houseplants that were in the ground at Lotusland and towered 20 or more feet over my head. It is hard to describe the charm of wandering around the property not wanting to miss anything and being constantly surprised. I grew up near Huntington Gardens and the L.A. Arboretum and, although I love them both, Lotusland is over the top.”
