Casa Romantica was the site of a presentation about historic California women "gardeners" who were leaders in a field largely populated by men. The presenter, a landscape architect herself, told stories and reminded all of the women in the room that although there were few recognized, women have always had their hands in the soil, trees and flowers, starting with Eve!
Before the presentation, my friend and fellow gardener, Susan Williams and I wandered through the courtyard area.
A must see when you are in San Clemente, CA.
This gorgeous place sits on the cliff right above the Pacific.
I did not shoot any sea photos, but believe me the view is stunning!
Lucky you! I really want to visit this place...love the tilework. Have only seen it in pictures in the book Casa California. --Brett
