@humansiliconvalley: Did you know Stanford has a cactus garden that was originally intended for a mansion that was never built? 🌵 Dating back to the 1880s, this extraordinary garden was neglected for decades before being restored in the 1990s. More than 140 years later, it’s still here, tucked away on Stanford’s campus. 📍 Arizona Cactus Garden, Stanford University, Palo Alto #Stanford #SiliconValley #BayAreaHistory #HiddenGems #PaloAlto
You should visit Hakone Gardens and Villa Montalvo!

Have you read “why fish don’t exist” by lulu miller? She researched a fascinating story about Jane Stanford for that book.

I worked at SHC for nearly 20 years before I ventured out to find the mausoleum. I never heard about the mansion. Nearly all of what you post about (my career) happened there because a child died. Jr came to him in a dream and told him to open a school. Great post.

When my grandma went there in the 40’s, the cactus garden was used as a sort of “lovers lane”
