Plan an excursion through our urban oasis of cultivated gardens and nearly wild, natural landscapes. Set aside a smidge of extra time for unexpected garden secrets and delights along the way!

Come to Descanso Gardens to experience, learn, and expand with an activity, class, program, or event designed to inspire.

Discover our world-class botanical and horticultural wonders and how we care for them.

Dive into a wellspring of opportunities for kids and adults to learn, observe nature, and participate in the garden.

As a non-profit public garden, we welcome you to join us in supporting our mission through membership and giving. With you, we grow in gratitude!

At Descanso Gardens we connect people with nature and one another. Read about our rich history and future plans to preserve the beauty and heritage of the gardens.
