Gardens of the World - Thousand Oaks
Monday, August 8, 2011 at 09:01AM Gardens of the World at 2001 Thousand Oaks Boulevard is a 4 1/2 acre garden across from the Civic Arts Plaza in Thousand Oaks. It is free and open to the public Tuesday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Garden is a gift from the Hogan Family Foundation.
GOTW is a stunning oasis of beauty, smack dab in the middle of Thousand Oaks. The gardens are pristine and peaceful. There is a huge bandstand in the center of the Gardens that is a perfect venue for outdoor music. And the array of plants, flowres and waterfalls (including a stunning fountain that looks out toward the Civic Arts Plaza) and a serene Koi pond next to an authentic Japanese Pagoda.
There is a Japanese garden, a French garden and waterfall (shown above), a Mission Courtyard, an English perennial and rose garden and an Italian garden. A beautiful place to visit and relax for a bit, right in the heart of Thousand Oaks. More info at www.gardensoftheworld.info or 805.557.1135.

The garden is lovely and a generous gift.
...I wish they would host though a green garden-waterwise, teaching garden to inspire us how to garden with little water and mulch yet be beautiful. This would be a gretaer gift! When I am there I see such waste-no walking on lawns yet so much waste-water, fertilizer. Show us the highest aspect of varius countries-the ones conserving and doing something about our environment-spiritually and well as physically.
... The Koi pond is most inspiring! Thank you.
