NEWARK, CA — For gardeners, visiting a botanical garden provides inspiration for home projects. John E. Clarke of Newark snapped the photo above recently at the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden — a great place for both inspiration and a leisurely stroll past scented plantings.

The five acre garden has at least 3,500 plantings featuring 189 varieties. The bushes include hybrid tea roses, floribundas, grandifloras, miniature roses, climbers, and polyanthas. The park is at Naglee and Dana Avenues in San Jose. It also has a picnic area. View a map of the garden online.
