I went for a walk the other day in a newly created open space in Fremont, Ca called The Gardens at Palmdale. The Gardens have been there for ever but the land was part of Sisters of Holy Family Convent. The Sisters had the land for 70 years and in 2019, the some of the Sisters land were turned into affordable housing and The Gardens of Palmdale were created as open space as a five-acre meditation garden:
What is cool is that they still have the so-called White House and the Pink House on the property:
The Gardens at Palmdale is a really nice play to take a walk and think about things and clear your mind.
Such beautiful open space, and love the structure of the houses. Thanks for sharing your walk.
ReplyDeleteI like the first photo of the sun light peeking through the trees. They have pretty statues too.
ReplyDeleteI think this would be a lovely spot to clear your head - especially at the moment.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love the saints that you shared! I saw Jesus and Saint Jude :) the plants and flowers look so energizing to my eyes and to my soul, thank you so much! It's my first time on your blog and I'm glad to know you are from Hayward. Lived there for three months 5 years ago :)
ReplyDeleteI loved the serenity Patrick and the Catholic statues seem to enhance that feeling of peacefulness don't they? Lovely that the public gets to share in the space now.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful serene photos, Patrick. There is a meditation garden at my MIL's aged care home and we often sit there when I visit. Thanks for sharing at #MLSTL and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting and what a beautiful place. Near me where is a small area called Palmdale but it houses a funeral home....
