About Descanso Gardens
Descanso Gardens is a story of plants and the people who loved them for their life-giving utility and their great natural beauty. While the tale unfolds over centuries, the connecting thread — from the indigenous people who relied on the plentiful oaks for food and their way of life to the 20th-century entrepreneur who sowed the seeds of a cultural institution — is a deep-seated love for this evocative and distinctive place. Descanso’s evolution into a botanic garden, open to the public and nationally accredited as a “museum of living collections,” is the most recent chapter in the rich history of this landscape. Descanso Gardens remains an oasis of beauty, both rugged and refined. In its eloquent landscapes, vignettes, and vistas we can experience firsthand moments in the epic story of humans’ relationships with the natural world and enjoy a refuge of stunning beauty.
