The Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanical Garden


When my parents came to visit in April we went to visit the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanical Gardens, it was such a nice way to spend the day. Upon entry to the 127 acres of beautiful botanical Gardens, you are greeted by peacocks, dozens of them! 



hey there buddy


inspiration for a painting? reminds me of the work of my dear friend Erik Otto


fresh air and bright, open blue skies 


The botanical gardens are divided by continent: The Americas, Asia, Africa and Australia, and then by area of interest. Plants from all around the world can be found here, including some that are endangered. You can see a map of the Arboretum and Botanical Gardens here.


look at this stylish crew


so peaceful and serene


so incredibly beautiful that it almost looks fake


the Meyberg Waterfall

i had to get in on the action, too


reminds me of Japan


We also stopped and had lunch at their cafe which has a 
beautiful view of the gardens. We had intended to only stay for 2 hours, but ended up staying here for about 4 hours just walking around, exploring and enjoying.
