Cornerstone Gardens

Attractions

Sonoma, California

Go for the good browsing in design shops and a boutique-wine collective. You’ll fall for the whole concept of gardens as art. Check out the quirky work of top landscape architects in this nine-acre complex, including a “flying” picket fence that soars 5 feet above the ground, a tree encrusted in sky blue Christmas balls, and an orchard of plastic daisy pinwheels. These eye-poppingly unconventional landscapes make you really think.
