Mission Gardens — Attraction in Santa Clara

The Santa Clara University campus is a beautiful place for a casual stroll, a daily run (one-mile circuit with distance markers), a picnic lunch, contemplation in the various gardens (Saint Clara is the patron saint of gardening), taking in the sculptures in various spots, or just sitting and reading a book.

What a lovely place! It wasn’t crowded on a Wednesday morning when I went. I parked on Lexington Street and walked over. Maybe 200 feet? The garden is inside of the campus of Santa Clara University.
