Directions

Directions to The Garden, 3070 Prather Lane: 

Going North on Hwy 1:  Take Soquel Ave exit.  Go right at light on Soquel.  Go through 3 lights.  The very next left after Thurber is Prather.  It looks like a driveway.  It is directly across from Sutter Surgical Center parking lot.  If you pass the Skyview Theater (or flea market), you've gone a few yards too far.  The last house on the right before the park is 3070.

Going South on Hwy 1:  Take Soquel Ave exit.  Go right all the way over the freeway and pass through 4 lights.  Follow same as above.
