Reviews
"Nice little garden to have a rest and take a breath. Nothing special but very cozy"
"It is a beautiful place established for a good cause - to help talented writers exiled from their home countries."
"A perfect place to enjoy some quiet time. Bring a book, listen to birds, watch the social chickens who live next door, or enjoy the plants and trees. It's a little oasis."
"Check it out! Monteray St. is lovely. Nice to walk so you can take in the incredible work on these's homes from the late 1800's."
"Such a cool garden! It's password locked, but access is free and reading space is plentiful! Oh, and like most of CoA properties - absolutely stunning."
