Sherman Library & Gardens presents “Sandscapes,” a sand sculpture display on view through Sept. 3.

Three sculptures designed and built by Chris Crosson, also known as “Mr. Sand Castle,” are featured in the central, rose and succulent gardens at the Corona del Mar property.

The botanical garden ordered 15 tons of sand for the project.

Crosson, who grew up on Balboa Island, is the founder of Doggie Walk Bags, which makes bags placed along sidewalks at parks and beaches for dog owners to use to clean up after their pets.

The exhibit is open from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Admission is $5; children younger than 12 are admitted free.

Sherman Library & Gardens is at 2647 E. Coast Hwy. For more information, call (949) 673-2261 or visit slgardens.org.
