The plants here are very diverse, many are also not seen in the country, the local characteristics of the plants, still quite novel."Highlights: The Los Angeles Botanical Garden covers a very large area.

Will Rogers Memorial Park
5.0/511 ReviewsBeverly Hills1.3km from downtownBotanical Gardens
"This park is a great place to take your children to splash in the lake and have access to a wonderful playground. The only thing I would advise against is weekends in the summer. I can get EXTREMELY crowded and become difficult for you to keep up with your children. I recommend going early in the day, if you can, as the heat is not too bad and it is not very crowded." - No.5

South Coast Botanic Garden
5.0/51 ReviewsLomita961m from downtownBotanical Gardens"I visit the garden almost every weekend. Flora gardens are constantly changing and staff and volunteers keep it in the best shape. There are some special exhibitions and exhibits. Recently some train clubs have designed a train model that shows the best mini scenes. They will hold concerts on the lawn or in the conference hall, and special educational events, such as visiting the wolves and introducing their key species status. There are hiking trails through the woods, and my friends and family often walk on different trails for 1 mile alone. Some routes are a bit technical, in short, they are all good walks" - No.11
Beverly Cañon Gardens
5.0/51 ReviewsBeverly Hills624m from downtownBotanical Gardens"Beverly Cannon Gardens. These greens are magic! Situated in the prime spots of Beverly Hills, the lawn surrounded by many restaurants and cafes. It’s beautifully lit at night too. Great place to meet people. In the summer they show movies in the garden. It’s ok to picnic there. There are tables and chairs for you to sit and enjoy your own food. Montage hotel offers other dining options. Two parking garages right under Gardens with 2 h free or $5 after 6 pm. Love this place . Highly recommend. Enjoy" - No.12

Peace Awareness Labyrinth and Gardens
5.0/51 ReviewsLos Angeles7.6km from downtownBotanical Gardens"Learn about all these important aspects of Los Angeles history by visiting the Peaceful Awareness Labyrinth and Gardens currently owned by the Spiritual Inner Consciousness Movement. Let's start with the sunshine. The maze is located in the garden of Villa Guasti, an Italian-style mansion built in 1910 by Secondo Guasti. Mr. Guasti is from Italy, rich as a winemaker, and has developed a huge vineyard in San Bernardino County. Mr. Guasti saw the potential of the climate and built a thriving business, surviving during the prohibition by selling communion and medicinal wines. This villa was his dream home. Our guide told us he invited Italian craftsmen to make wood carvings and murals. MSA did this important task brilliantly, preserving the American dream and the amazing history of Los Angeles"
