The Huntington, known for its library and impressive art collection, is also home to 120 acres of botanical gardens.  These consist of a number of specialized gardens including:  Australian, Children’s, Desert, Herb, Japanese, Palm, Rose, Shakespeare, and Chinese gardens.  Several of these are some of the finest examples of these types of gardens in the world, or the best outside their country of origin.

With stunning gardens to explore, a library full of rare books, and a museum full of priceless art, it is no wonder The Huntington draws over half-a-million visitors every year.
