Margrit Mondavi Art Garden - Davis, CA - Sculpture Gardens on Waymarking.com

"The Margrit Mondavi Art Garden, adjacent to the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art, honors one of the university’s most generous benefactors, a dedicated volunteer and an esteemed cultural ambassador. The Chancellor and Maria Manetti Shrem presented the garden to Mrs. Mondavi in celebration of her 90th birthday.

The garden design and concept are inspired by Mrs. Mondavi’s plein air floral watercolors. The vision is that students and the campus community will be inspired to sketch in the garden.

The garden design ascribes to Mrs. Mondavi’s aspirations for the new Manetti Shrem Museum. At the museum groundbreaking, she shared her vision for arts on campus that “this is a place where you find beauty. That you are inspired. That you go home and you start sketching the cherry tree in front of your window.”" (visit link)
