Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden

The Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden is a unique 127-acre botanical garden. Opened to the public in 1955, some garden collections display representative species of six continents, with special emphasis on plants adapted to the world’s Mediterranean climates. Other landscape elements include a grove of the native Engelmann oaks, a tropical jungle garden, and a series of specialty gardens including the thematically-colored Grace Kallam Perennial Garden and the Meyberg Waterfall, an aquatic garden with tropical and temperate plants.
