Gardener in Alcazar Garden
Photo by Unknown, 1950
A gardener working in one of the flowerbeds in Alcazar Garden. The garden's design is patterned after the gardens of Alcazar Castle in Seville, Spain, and is known for its ornate fountains, exquisite turquoise blue, yellow and green Moorish tiles and shady pergola. This formal garden, bordered by boxwood hedges, is planted with 7,000 annuals for a vibrant display of color throughout the year and may be rented for wedding ceremonies. The garden has been reconstructed to replicate the 1935 design by San Diego architect Richard Requa.
