Our Mission Terrace gardens have it all;  rainwater catch systems, glass much pathways, tiffany lamp gazebos, succulents surprises, garden labyrinths, and more. 
The map below shows just one possible path, yet there is no formal route. (Start anywhere, end anywhere!)  Put on your walking shoes, jump on your bikes, and and visit your neighbors! ​​No tickets are necessary; no cost for admission. ​​​​
