Descanso Gardens

La Cañada Flintridge · Botanical Garden · $

I come here specifically on overcast days. The light under the oak forest is soft and the crowds are minimal. It's the most peaceful I feel in Los Angeles.

A tucked-away garden under oak canopy. Camellias, a Japanese garden, and the best rainy-day outdoor walk in the county.
