California, blessed with an idyllic climate, is the perfect environment for gardens and gardeners. In this sun-filled state are some of the most beautiful gardens in the world. From those created by the Jesuits, simple, rugged and tinged with Spanish influence, to today's environmentally sensitive designs, the scope of the style and concept is astonishing.

Plant lists are provided for selected gardens.
