Descanso Gardens

Take a walk anytime, anywhere at Descanso Gardens and you'll discover a diverse plant collection and tranquility. Only 20 minutes from downtown Los Angeles, the gardens have prepared walks for all of the different subcultures of plants. Pictured here is the Japanese Tea Garden [my favorite] which overlooks a koi-filled stream. "Why are there trees I never walk under, but large and melodious thoughts descend upon me?"
