![THE BEST PLACES TO CATCH SPRING BLOOMS IN @visitpasadena 🌸
After an extremely wet winter, I’m looking for all the spring blooms here in SoCal! Pasadena is only 20 minutes from Downtown Los Angeles, and is packed with some of the most stunning botanical gardens in the area — and definitely should be on your list to visit this spring!
Gardens to Visit in Pasadena This Spring (SAVE this post for later!)
🌸 @descansogardens — look out for Cherry Blossoms in their Japanese Garden, stroll through the Rose Garden and don’t miss the lilacs!
🌸 @nortonsimon — you could spend hours viewing the art here both indoors and outdoors in their Sculpture Garden
🌸 @arlingtonpasadena — a free, three-acre garden that’s home to an orange grove & Yoko Ono’s Wish Tree art installation
🌸 @thehuntingtonlibrary — you won’t want to miss their Cactus Garden, the Conservatory, the Japanese Garden, and the Chinese Garden
