*****************************************
Descanso Gardens, located in La Canada/Flintridge,
Los Angeles County, California, is a 150 acre
botanical garden. At one time, this property belonged to newspaper
magnate E. Manchester Boddy, who owned the Los
Angeles Daily News. He ran a commercial camellia
garden at the location, supplying prom boutonniers,
for example, until he ceded the site to Los Angeles
County in 1953.
The county has developed the property to include
a rosarium, as well as a Japanese tea house, lilac
garden, bird sanctuary, xeriscape, and a gift shop.
They also regularly host professional camellia shows,
chamber music, and weddings. They are busiest
however on the Easter weekend, when the tulips are
in bloom and eggs are hidden on the central lawn of 1 acre.
The park also features the Descanso Gardens Enchanted Railroad, an eighth scale replica of a diesel train, that takes visitors around a section of the park.
