Descanso Garden visit

I was lead here by my neighbor Sue for the Cherry Blossom. The Japanese Garden with sakura (cherry blossom) is where the Cherry Blossom Festival was held at. Unfortunately, we missed the true Festival last month. There is a variety of flowers and plants within the gardens. And we did enjoy the beauty of nature!!

Last time we were here was attending Lynn and David's wedding a few years ago. The gardens are so large and we only picked a few spots to sample. Today, the lilacs and rose garden were  in bloom and beautiful! We visited the gift shop at length and it is great and varied. There is something for everyone; a seasonal section, e.g., Easter's hand decorated real eggs! 

Hubby loves its serenity and red wood forest. There is definitely more for us to see on the next visit.
