One of the things that I like best about living in the Sacramento neighborhood of Land Park is the fact I can walk along our tree-canopied streets to just about anywhere. I walk not only to typical places such as restaurants, gift shops, boutiques, the Land Park Tower Theatre or Taylor's Market, but we have our very own William Land Park, which boasts over 11 acres of gently rolling grassy hills and a golf course, jogging trails, ponds, baseball field, an abundance of trees, picnic areas and more.
Tucked away on the southeastern side of the lake is a hidden treasure often passed by, the WPA Rock Garden. The 3/4 acre, established 69 years ago, is tended by Daisy Mah. The garden is filled with trees, plants and flowers, most of which are indigenous to California, and features a walking path that winds through the garden. Here are a few photos (more to come later) that I hope you will enjoy enough to make your own special trip to the William Land Park WPA Rock Garden:

You are a great photogragher; outstanding photos.
Hi Elizabeth. Such a restful place. I could completely spend an afternoon here.
Looks like a wonderful area. I will have to visit on my next trip to CA!
your friend in Charlottesville Virginia!
Elizabeth, Very Nice! I love the "bee action" on your first pic! I can almost see its wings moving...What kind of camera do you use? I have a Kodak Easyshare and am thinking about upgrading. Thank you.
I love the bee. What the devil is that in the next to last photo? And I hope Brandon is feeling better.
These are they type of areas we love to find when we are visiting new areas. Thanks for the tip.
Hi Elizabeth... what a GORGEOUS looking rock garden. I'm not sure why, but gardens that feature indigenous plants always have a special personality and feel to them.
I love your amazing photos of the flowers in your area. They are gorgeous, and brighten up the day.
