The fountain in the center of the garden makes a nice foreground picture for a number of different views of the various elements in the garden. Take advantage of it.

Finally, look around the garden area for the unique plantings. Toward the back by the church is an interesting tree with bell-shaped flowers. And, of course, at the front of the garden are the two large Star Pine trees said to have been planted to serve as ship masts. They are lit at Christmas-time.
