    The Children’s Garden


    The last two blog posts have been about the Huntington Library. Can you guess what today’s blog post is about? Yup, it’s about the Huntington Library again. This time, I’ll only be talking about the Children’s Garden.

    The Gardens of Huntington Library


    Previously, I blogged about the Japanese Garden at the Huntington Library. The thing is that the Japanese Garden isn’t the only garden on the grounds of the Huntington Library. It just happens to be one of the more massive gardens. So, today, I’m going to blog about the other gardens from the Rose Garden to the Desert.

    Huntington Library’s Japanese Garden


    The Japanese Garden at the Huntington Libary in San Marino is quite big. Yes, it’s not small like the one at CSULB and definitely far from tiny like the one at Descanso. It wasn’t my first time visiting the Huntington Libary but it’d been some time since I last visited and I must say that time around, I recall I had the opportunity to explore and appreciate Huntington Library’s Japanese Garden.

    Hidden Beauty at the South Coast Botanic Garden

    Floral and fauna

    I’ve always wondered why people bother with having an annual membership at a garden but here, at the South Coast Botanic Garden, it makes sense. You have the place to yourself when it’s not busy. And even when it’s busy, there’s ample space around as well as the option to come back another time for “free”. You don’t have to rush and each time you visit, you can easily catch sight of things you hadn’t noticed before.

    Portland International Rose Test Garden

    If roses are your cup of tea, the International Rose Test Garden in Portland, Oregon might just delight you. It sits across from the towering Portland Japanese Garden and is free for all to enjoy. It’s easily accessible by shuttle and makes a nice starting point within Washington Park.
