Noguchi Garden

Impossible to find. No parking. Hidden in the middle of office buildings. I actually became significantly less peaceful looking for this garden. Eventually gave up and went home

It’s a nice place but- I wouldn’t necessarily drive out of my way to go there. It’s a courtyard between office buildings. Stop by if you’re in the area but don’t drive more than half an hour for it

We came across this place unexpectedly and it's such a pleasant encounter! Very calm ambient, peaceful crowd and mind relaxing design of shapes and spaces.

Nice little area to relax. We went on a weekend and it was empty. Probably busier during the workday with so many offices. Take a coffee and a snack and enjoy the sounds of a little stream

"California Scenario" is one of my favorite free little hidden gems of Orange County! Very serene, flowing water, and a variety of different plants, including cacti and redwood trees!! I can definitely see it as a good place to journal, draw, meditate, or read! And, I think it's great both during the day and at night, since the lighting highlights the different parts of the garden.
