Bring a bottle of wine (or whatever) and enjoy a lovely start to the weekend. What a special place the garden is in the evening as reflections of the sky and trees shimmer on the ponds in the waning light.  The Storrier Stearns garden is an oasis that offers the serenity that has characterized Japanese gardens for centuries. 
 
The garden has lifted most of its guidelines along with the City of Pasadena. Some restrictions remain and we appreciate your patience and attention to them.
 
* Every visitor must check in on the terrace of the house. No tickets or receipts are necessary
* Up to six people may gather and sit together 
* Picnics are welcome but please take the trash out with you
* You must leave at the end of your session
* Stepping off the paths and into garden beds or onto boulders next to the ponds is strictly prohibited
* You may enter and enjoy the teahouse. Maximum capacity is 10 and shoes need to be removed. Clean socks are provided
* Masks are required inside the teahouse for visitors who are not fully vaccinated
* Please do not disrupt the peacefulness many visitors are seeking: no talking on the phone, music or noisy celebrations
* Casual handheld photography is allowed but not professional photography or the use of tripods
* Sorry, no pets
* Open rain or shine, we are unable to issue refunds or rainchecks
* We recommend you bring water and insect repellent. Sanitizer will be available but we advise you to carry your own
