The Huntington Gardens are composed of several gardens; go for one of the tours (free with paid admission or if you are a member) and learn about what is blooming and how the garden are maintained. There are fourteen gardens to explore: the famous Japanese Garden, which has doubled in numerous films as Japan; the Children's Garden with its' interactive exhibits; the Lily Ponds showcasing serenely floating lotus flowers; the Botanical Conservatory, which houses the beautiful plants which provide our cocoa and vanilla; and my favorite, the Rose Garden, which has more roses in one place than I have ever seen in my life. To be amid hundreds of roses when they are blooming is a sensuous and heady experience.
Beauty is inspirational; a beautiful garden is one of the best kinds of inspiration.
Food finds, super shops, travel tips, and fun things to make your spirit smile.
