This garden is pleasant and peaceful, with an opportunity to see Ann Norton's interesting sculpture studio and many bits of sculpture worth a look. Some of the staff isn't top notch, but one thing that is absolutely outstanding is the November sale they have of donated goodies. They've offered Asian antiques at prices that make them almost free--Japanese prints, Han... More

It looks like someones house rather than a museum / sculpture garden but looks can be deceiving. When we walked through the front door we were greeted by Nancy (with the laughing face) who welcomed us and then proceeded to give us a exceptional amount of background information about the artist, her life and her work. When she finished she... More

I attended a memorial service here for the nephew of the Dalai Lama who was a friend of mine and I was so impressed with how beautiful and serene this garden is. I could not resist walking around after the service to soak in the beauty. More

Went to the gardens in conjunction with the El Cid neighborhood Tour of Homes. Very surprised at how huge it turned out to be. Very deceiving from the street. Despite the large number of people collecting there in advance of the tour, it remained peaceful and quiet. Very beautiful, lush landscaping and calming atmosphere. More

If my wife locates a sculpture garden, we shall visit. Parking is a little tight, but Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens is simply beautiful. Seems that there are few tourists and locals around which suits us fine. Very enjoyable art in a natural setting. More

This is a must-see in WPB. The sculptures are amazing and unfold in a hidden garden. This place is a great venue for special events like weddings and corporate cocktail parties. More

Beautiful but not that interesting. Even as a history and art lover, I really didn't find these gardens and house very interesting. The staff is very knowledgeable but, like everything else, not that interesting. The gardens were well maintained and I could see this as a great place for a function or wedding. Probably would not go back, once is... More
