JO’S Monday Walk: Huntington Library

Posted on July 30, 2018 by Miriam Hurdle 39 comments

A few months ago, we had a pleasant walk in the Huntington Library. The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens in Los Angeles, California. The 500 acres property includes approximately 120 acres of specialized botanical landscaped gardens, the Japanese Garden, the Desert Garden, and the Chinese Garden, along with the Rose Garden, Australian Garden, Herb Garden, Shakespeare Garden. We only walked 10% of the garden area.

I have posted some photos here.
