Today I visited the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden ( not to be confused with the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden, which I will visit soon ). I imagined it would be located somewhere downtown but it's actually adjacent to the Guadalupe Gardens, south of the Norman Mineta San Jose International Airport. This land used to be a patch of weeds but was turned into a redevelopment project to create a large public garden and park for everyone to enjoy.
An aerial view photo of the garden which was dedicated in 1995.
A sign showing some of the variety of roses grown in the garden.
Only a handful of the 3600 plants and 2600 varieties of roses in the Heritage Rose Garden.
These two photos were taken at Civic Center Park in Santa Clara. The city is named after Saint Clare and the statue in the middle of the reflecting pool was cast in Italy and shipped to the city in 1965.
I like this last photo because the water bathed in the golden lights makes it look like volcanic fire erupting through the water. At least to me it does. ^ ^
