There is something about a garden that transcends the muck of daily life to remind us that our choices are bigger than we are. Gardens offer common ground, regardless of political or religious beliefs and have long functioned as places of refuge and solitude. Chosen to highlight the need for peace and sanctuary, one of the stops on the Fling itinerary is the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America, a quiet oasis in the midst of politics and power.
Filled with roses as well as perennials, lush annuals, and mature trees and shrubs, the gardens also feature grottos, sculptures, and a chapel. Come with us as we enjoy a garden often overlooked by tourists but much loved by the locals.
