Entry No. 24 — the Santa Barbara file — filed under: zen garden

The Sacred Space

A hidden corner-lot garden sanctuary owned by Jack and Rose Herschorn, packed with koi ponds, imported Buddhist and Asian statuary, incense, and 'books of wisdom' — sitting a few blocks from where 19th-century mediums once held group séances in the spiritualist colony that gave this town its name.

The move: Wander the free public garden and koi ponds hand in hand at golden hour, then browse the incense and altar-goods shop before dinner in Summerland.
