Back in September, we took our second tour of Lotusland. We learned about Lotusland from a Sunset magazine article many years ago. It is a tour de force that reflects the eccentricities of its founder, Polish-born opera singer Madame Ganna Walska. The socialite, who married and divorced six times, spent 43 years planning and planting her magnificent garden. The 37-acre property is located on a quiet street in Montecito and is definitely worth a visit even if you aren’t an avid gardener. Let’s start the tour.
Next week, I will share more photos of the succulent and cactus gardens which are quite astonishing and out of this world. For more information, please visit www.lotusland.org.
