Garden Of Flowing Fragrance: The Huntington

Angeleons often boast of being able to visit the mountains and the beach in a single day. In fact, when you are in LA, you can also explore a jungle and a desert too–thanks to the expansive Huntington Library, Art Collections & Botanical Gardens in San Marino. With 120 landscaped acres and more than a dozen themed gardens, the center's grounds are a must see attraction, but there's a lot more. It takes a few days to roam on site which includes: the Beaux-Arts style Huntington Art Gallery (former residence of the center's founders, railroad magnate Henry E. Huntington and his wife, Arabella). The Huntington ground are also home to Virgina Steele Scott Galleries of American Art that houses more than 6 million rare film scripts, books, photos and art including John James Audubon's The Birds Of America.
