Remembering Phillip Glashoff

A well-kept secret, Suisun Valley hides the fantastical Phillip Glashoff Sculpture Garden. Williams Road, a country lane off Suisun Valley Road, does not easily give up this secret. Wander the driveway and no farther. Dozens of sculptures along the way and in the field will leave you wide-eyed.  Easier to spot is another small collection of mailboxes on Williams and Rockville roads. I will never forget that lucky day when I followed my instincts to this magical place. 

Gardens grow everything from edibles and flowers to botanical history and strange works of art. Use leisure time to explore other gardens – conventional and not. Slow down. Enjoy the landscapes. Getting there is half the fun. To unearth these secrets use GPS, Google Maps, and road maps. You’ll be glad you did.
