Mission Cliff Gardens, A Memoir
A touching memoir by Carole Bryant, great-granddaughter of John Davidson who was the superintendent of Mission Cliff Gardens in University Heights. The Gardens were established in 1898 by visionary entrepreneur John D. Spreckels and transformed into a botanical wonder by John Davidson.
This 28-page booklet describes the journey of the Davidson family from Scotland to San Diego and their life at Mission Cliff Gardens from 1904 to 1935. The memoir is based on interviews by Carole with John Davidson’s daughter, Jean Davidson Bryant, and his granddaughter, Nancy Mavis Wormington.
The booklet contains 42 historical photos and postcards of Mission Cliff Gardens from Carole’s private collection. Carole, an architect, also provided a floor plan of the Pavilion and a site plan of Mission Cliff Gardens, based on historical photographs and memories from Mavis Wormington.
