About the Artist/Site
A native of Slovenia, Medica built a series of cement castles, walkways, and ponds on his ½-acre Santa Rosa lot. The site is now surrounded by an upscale residential subdivision, and many of the components are in disrepair. It is unavailable for public viewing. California Historical Landmark #939.

I would like to gain access to John Medica Garden and build a photogrammetry scan based virtual tour in the name of aiding preservation and bringing attention to these wonderful things I’m finding while living here. -Trevor
