Descanso Gardens

At one time, this property belonged to newspaper magnate E. Manchester Boddy, who owned the Los Angeles Daily News. He ran a commercial camellia Garden at the location, supplying Prom boutonni res, for example, until he ceded the site to Los Angeles County in 1953.

The county has developed the property to include a Rosarium, as well as a Japanese tea house, Lilac Garden, bird sanctuary, xeriscape, and of course a gift shop. They also regularly host professional camellia shows, chamber music, and weddings. They are busiest however on the Easter weekend, when the tulips are in bloom and eggs are hidden on the central lawn of 1 ;acre .
