Caption: "Forbidden Garden -- Santa Barbara Mission," c. 1910. View of the gardens associated with Santa Barbara Mission. The gardens initially served as the location for instructing neophytes (Native American converts living at the mission) in trades and skills deemed necessary to life in European civilization. Later, the garden was used for meditation. The garden was often dubbed "forbidden" because it was closed to female visitors, as were many enclosures in active missions.
Date: 1910
