Here at A New Leaf Gallery, we find ourselves fortunate to be located at Cornerstone Sonoma. Chosen as one of the 100 Gardens to See Before You Die, Cornerstone features 22 installations created by renowned landscape designers. The gardens and the sculptures within them demonstrate the seamless integration of art and nature. Both owe their beauty to the elements and in some cases, to the wind in particular.
This reminds me of one of those moments from "The Prisoner", when one is advised to run, not walk!
Interesting interplay of light and shadow!

Grapes, parsley, and strawberries in a cozy and private little setting.
Agaves!
As their Web Site states:
One especially intriguing garden is the work of San Francisco designer John Greenlee. Mediterranean Meadow consists entirely of undulating hills and valleys blanketed in tall grasses, native wildflowers and perennials. John conceptualized the garden as a nod to Sonoma’s traditional grasslands. Where grapevines now march acre upon acre across the rolling hills, cattle and sheep used to graze by the thousands.
"Blue Tree" by Claude Cormier. 80,000 plastic balls decorate this dead tree previously scheduled for removal.
