This cache is an Altoids Small container hidden inside Sherman Library and Gardens. The cache is magnetic and if you are muggled just act like you are admiring the magnificent historical structure!
The Sherman Library and Gardens are beautiful and worth a visit. This place has the most amazing desert and succulent garden and the cache is nearby. Please replace the cache as "deeply" as you found it. If you visit after 2 p.m. on the weekends you might find a bartender/geocacher setting up for a party in the central courtyard. If so, say hello!
PLEASE DO NOT ENTER THE GARDENS AFTER HOURS BY CLIMBING WALLS/FENCES AND TRESPASSING. CACHE IS ONLY AVAILABLE WHEN THE GARDENS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
Here is the information on location, parking, admission, etc.:
Sherman Library & Gardens is a 2.2 acre Corona Del Mar horticultural retreat. The Gardens provide a museum of living plants, displayed amidst a setting of immaculate gardens, patios and conservatories linked together by wide brick walkways, beds blooming with seasonal flowers and bubbling tile fountains. The Library is a specialized research center devoted to the study of the Pacific Southwest.
In 1955 Arnold D. Haskell (1895-1977) bought the Norman's Nursery property at the corner of Dahlia Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway in Corona del Mar, California. The property included a small adobe house that he planned to use as his Orange County office. Shortly after occupying the adobe Mr. Haskell began landscaping the nursery site and the surrounding property.
By 1958 the nursery area, now known as The Tea Garden, was being used as a community service project by the Newport Harbor Service League (later to become the Junior League of Orange County) for the sale of pastries, coffee and tea.
Mr. Haskell's concept for the property was then expanded to include the building of a beautiful garden that would be open to the public. It was to be a serene oasis - a respite from the stress and pressures of daily schedules.
During the 1960s the balance of the property making up the entire 2.2-acre block, which is now occupied by Sherman Library & Gardens, was acquired. Remodeling of the original buildings, consisting of the present gift shop, Gardens office and the adobe house, and construction of the Library, conservatory and central patio building were all completed between 1967 and 1974.
Typically (for he always shunned personal publicity) Mr. Haskell named the Library & Gardens after his mentor and benefactor, M.H. Sherman (1853-1932), and not after himself.
