dhblikes“Because the cactus garden never ceases to feel otherworldly--like a garden on Mars, or, underwater. The Japanese and Chinese gardens calm the nerves, the air-con & art cool the head, gift shop satisfies any merch cravings, kids garden & conservatory is where I lived w/ my toddlers and growing kids, as well as the endless lawns...a safe place to get lost all day. Stay until the guards kick you out. It's fun to feel like a naughty kid there.”

cat“get tickets! go early! bring a big sun hat and sunscreen and a book and a journal and good walking shoes. it’s bigger than you could possibly imagine and stunning. I spent the most time in the rose garden, finding out there is a kind of rose named popcorn!”

cinnamon girled“A rare oasis of green space in the city for your most serene hot girl walk. Touch grass, smell the roses, visit the galleries. I enjoy going alone with a journal just as much as frolicking around with friends, like on my 30th birthday last summer. Sweet date spot (but only if you really, really like them; some things are sacred). Free admission every first Sunday of the month — make sure to book in advance on the previous Thursday morning!”
