See the history of Descanso Gardens through the eyes of the LA’s Garden exhibition curator Rosten Woo as he conducts tours on July 18th at 11am and 1pm.

The curator will share how LA’s Garden traces the transformation of Descanso Gardens from a native oak woodland to a living museum.

The exhibition highlights the Gardens’ iconic botanical collections and the diverse individuals—from Japanese American nurserymen to visionary volunteers—who preserved this landscape for the public. 

Included in the price of admission or membership, no event registration required.
