So many roses in bloom in just about every color. It was packed with people having picnics, taking pictures, walking around but still easy enough to find your own quiet space. Such a pocket of beauty in the neighborhood.

All Green Scape is a fabulous company that has provided reliably excellent service. Carlos, the…read moreowner of the company, is a delightful person to interact with because he is dedicated to providing the best product out there. We requested Carlos give us a quote for grass installation in our backyard, and he responded immediately, came out to take measurements, and gave us a great quote. Once we agreed, he quickly scheduled the installation. He and his men said it would take two days, and they were totally correct - at the end of two days we had an amazing yard at great value. It was an excellent investment; we loved spending in our backyard after that. We asked All Green Scape to come out again to install even more grass, and they once again provided excellent service in an incredibly timely manner. The grass has thrived beautifully- it is really high quality, both lush and soft. Kids love to roll around on it and play on it all day long. All Green Scape also does our weekly garden maintenance and it's been great as well. You can tell everyone at All Green Scape sincerely cares about making sure their customer's gardens are beautiful, and I really appreciate their expertise and hard wo. I would heartily recommend anyone looking to install grass and make their gardens beautiful reach out to Carlos at All Green Scape.

I was excited to discover this lovely garden so close to home, a cute lil find randomly situated…read morenear the entrance of Cisco Building 9 on East Tasman Drive, an area of north San Jose I imagine is not frequented by visitors. Thus, parking was plentiful on a Saturday late afternoon. The tiny oasis is part of Habitat Horticulture (founded by David Brenner), which crafts imaginative botanical installations and living walls. Projects include and can be found at SF MOMA, California Academy of Sciences, Tesla Factory, and many cafes and community centers beyond the bay area. Tranquil, aesthetically pleasing, and free to visit, it's worth spending a few moments exploring the scenery, or simply sitting on one of the two benches on site and taking in some fresh air. Though nothing too fancy, there are many elements to this place that can be appreciated, even a sculpture displaying the words "Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me."

It is a beautiful quiet spot to reflect on your thoughts with living walls of plants that are so impressive. You may want to investigate how to do this yourself, but please respect the garden and stay on the sidewalk to protect it from being damaged. Moral of the story is to always take time to smell the flowers and enjoy the moment. Worth a visit when you have a moment.

Took a relaxing stroll around Overfelt Chinese Cultural Garden today, an often forgotten city park…read more Overfelt Gardens Background: In 1959, out of affection for the people of San Jose, Mildred Overfelt bestowed a gift of 33 acres to the City for a park "so there will be a place where people can find quiet contemplation in nature and beauty..." The Chinese Cultural Garden is a feature of Overfelt Garden Park and was inspired in 1971 by Frank and Pauline Lowe. Mr. Lowe deeply cherished the heritage of his native China and his adopted American homeland. His vision to broaden the understanding between Eastern and Western societies in a tranquil and beautiful setting achieved this, while fulfilling Mildred Overfelt's original intent.

However, it's mainly quiet and many of the walkways are shaded. The ponds are nice and full of life during rainy seasons, but can smell and look nasty during drier ones.

I visited the Heritage Rose Garden on a Monday morning, and it looked deserted and kind of sad. But…read moreI spent time exploring and realized with a closer look that even during winter, there are still some beautiful flowers and roses to be found here, though minimal. One thing I liked is the Teaching and Demonstration Garden adjacent to the Heritage Rose Garden. They had informative signs posted about soil quality, efficient irrigation, pest problems (or "solutions" to be more accurate), and beneficial insects (with detailed colored photos and descriptions of different pollinators, predators, and parasites). There was even an Insect Hotel on site, which was intriguing, a cool little habitat for bugs to hang out. And for us humans, a few picnic tables and benches situated underneath a large tree (Guadalupe Gardens Picnic Area), though this garden/park doesn't look very picnic-friendly overall, or is very limited. At the center of the garden is a circular open space, which had two trash cans busted open and garbage scattered all over the ground on the day I visited. Nearby, glimpses of homeless encampments made the area and destination a little less desirable, though I didn't see many homeless people around, just a couple. The setting and feel of the place wasn't very appealing to me, and with a much larger, cleaner, and functional rose garden not too far away and in a nicer neighborhood (SJ Municipal Rose Garden), I don't really have much incentive to return here, not regularly at least. But I may check it out during the warmer seasons to see what it's like then.
