Descanso Gardens

Descanso Gardens is a major Southern California garden destination known for camellias, oak woodlands, seasonal displays, and peaceful walking paths. It offers a nature-rich counterpoint to the city's more urban landmarks.

The property was once the estate of newspaper publisher E. Manchester Boddy and is especially known for its camellia collection.

Timed tickets or admission may be required. Check seasonal events such as Enchanted Forest of Light, which can affect hours and crowds.
