Palm Springs: Sunnylands Gardens

Join me as I walk the gardens at Sunnylands in Rancho Mirage, CA. Sunnylands used to be the winter home of Walter and Leonore Annenberg and it is just a short drive from Palm Springs. Since 2012, Sunnylands hosts visitors at the house and beautiful gardens. The house and gardens are closed currently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The gardens were open in November, 2020 when this video was created.

I create walking and driving videos that explore places I love, places I've never been, and places I've always wanted to go. For me, the eye must travel. Whether it's walking down the street, going to an art opening, or touring a beautiful home, I want to be delighted by what I see and I want to share it with you.

I’m sharing what I saw in Ca.

Very nice, I'd like to know how much water they throw at that lawn every year, but whoever cuts it does a tidy job. I remember when this kind of extremely modernist garden had it's revival in the early 2000's. Although it's pretty severe and not exactly new, it's an example of the beginning of xerophytic public landscaping and maybe other than the lawn, should be kept for it's historical value.

I recognize the palo verde trees but does anyone know what type of trees are next to them?

[@EyeMustTravel]

Hi Jimmy. Thanks for watching. I'm not sure which trees you mean but here's a link to the trees in the Sunnylands Visitors Center gardens, which is what I filmed. Hope this helps. :) sunnylandsgardens.org/plant-type/tree/

The gardens are attractive, but need an explanation. Most of the desert vegetation has been recently planted, much of it in unnatural rows. The large building and large green lawn area are obviously for large group entertaining.

Thanks for watching. The Sunnylands gardens are known for their geometric planting. It's not a natural desert garden. The area pictured is the welcome center of the property and it is big enough to accommodate the visitors who are waiting for their tours of the house, or who just want to visit the art exhibits, cafe, and other events they have there.

Nice succulent landscaping..too bad there’s that whole expanse of lawn to undercut the concept of sustainable watering..
