The article needs much pruning and revising; fair warning[edit]

The article currently reads like a public relations release rather than an encyclopedia. To wit: "The bright color choices help bring her work to life" and "Escondido, California was chosen as the location for the garden for its semi-rural setting in order to perfectly set the tone" (emphases added). Unencyclopedic language like this has no place on Wikipedia. Also, under the heading "Description", the third paragraph begins "Queen Califia’s Magical Circle is known as the only American sculpture garden..." This unsourced claim is patently false; there are, in fact, dozens of other sculpture gardens in the US. And weasel-words like "...is known as..." likewise have no place on WP. If someone sympathetic to the subject matter would like to carefully go through the article and remove any unencyclopedic language, I will give them a months or so to do so. If not, I will prune it myself. Bricology (talk) 08:23, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
