What visitors are saying about Cornerstone Gardens

We had a wonderful visit to Cornerstone. We hadn’t known what to expect and we were just amazed at how distinct and different each garden was. They were each unique works of art using outdoor landscaping materials. Everyone who went on the trip raved to others in our club about our visit and wanted to go back and see the gardens as they evolved and changed. We were also enthralled with the stores, which were another fabulous dimension of the Cornerstone experience.
Suzanne Speh, Tour Chair, Inverness Garden Club

Thank you so much for taking your time to give me an in-depth tour. We are always on the lookout for exciting and fun adventures in the world of art. Cornerstone’s Festival of Gardens is a gem, and what a delightful surprise to find it is close by in Sonoma County. We all went home filled with new ideas as to how one could make over their garden into a more inviting and fun space.
Moira McChin, Oakland Museum of California docent

Cornerstone was a great venue for our company outing. Being architects, our staff was intrigued, entertained and inspired by the gardens. Thank you for sharing your wonderful creation with us!
Alison Odell, The Design Partnership
