Los Angeles is known for many things, including its: beaches<\/a>, culture<\/a>, fashion<\/a>, and entertainment<\/a>. However, one thing that\u00a0LA has lots of, that\u00a0many people don’t know about, is\u00a0gardens. Who would of thought? It’s true! Many people consider LA to be a desert and in some cases they aren’t\u00a0far from the truth. Los Angeles is actually a Mediterranean climate. That means it has wet winters and long summers. Not a bad environment for a garden. Let’s take a look at what’s growing over the garden wall.<\/p>\n

LA Gardens<\/h2>\n

Some of the most diverse gardens in Los Angeles are the\u00a0Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens<\/a>.\u00a0Located in San Marino, California, it previously\u00a0belonged to Henry E. Huntington who had the mansion built in 1903.\u00a0It is home to 12 gardens and over 15,000 plant varieties.\u00a0Take a stroll through the pavilions of the Garden of Flowing Fragrance and enjoy the soothing sounds of waterfalls as you have your morning tea. Trek through the beauties of the Desert Garden and feast your eyes on the colorful collection of cacti and strange succulents.<\/p>\n\n

Just a hop and skip away are the\u00a0Descanso Gardens<\/a>, located in\u00a0La Ca\u00f1ada Flintridge.\u00a0These gardens are an eclectic mix of meadows, woodlands, and chaparrals. For bird watchers, it’s a real hoot! Fly on over and get a look at the different bird species that call the garden home. Visit their Nature\u2019s Table garden and taste the riches of the earth.

Can’t get enough of trees? No problem, the\u00a0Arboretum<\/a> has plenty! Mosey on over to Arcadia where the grass is greener. Laden with plants and scenery so out of this world, you might think\u00a0you’ve stumbled into Narnia. In fact, the Arboretum’s gardens have been the central location for many films over the years including: Tarzan Escapes<\/i> (1936), Marathon Man <\/i>(1976), and Dynasty<\/i> (1984).\u00a0Visit the Rainbow Serpent Garden and take a trip down under. Say G\u2019Day to their exotic plants as you follow the winding path through their multicolored display.<\/p>\n

The 134,000-square-foot perpetual art layout is always changing.\u00a0Travel back in time while enjoying the plaza full of chadars, bougainvillea arbors, and azaleas.\u00a0Not only is there plenty to see, but there\u2019s plenty to hear and smell as well. With hundreds of varieties of scented plants you can delight all five senses.<\/p>\n\n

Head to the\u00a0Los Angeles Zoo & Botanical Gardens<\/a> and see some of the rarest specimens known to scientists.\u00a0The plants in this garden make great\u00a0decorations for the human visitors, but also provide food for the full time animal inhabitants.\u00a0The zoo gardens also serve as a plant rescue for non-native plants and are home to many different succulent varieties.\u00a0Their trees and bushes including: mulberry, figs, and eucalyptus, provide plenty of shade and eye-catching displays.<\/p>\n
