The Huntington Library, Botanical Garden Pictures

Visited the beautiful Huntington Library, Art Collection and Botanical garden at San Marino, CA on May 26, 2007. As per their official website the Botanical Garden has around 15000 different kinds of plants bought from all over the world. There are different type of Gardens like Chinese garden, Japanese garden, French garden, Desert garden, Children's garden, Rose garden, Desert garden, Herb garden and lots more. They span more than 120 acres.

It has a Free tour and it is the best way to know about this place.

This place has a huge collection of olden times books in the library section. As per the tour guide many scholars come from different parts of the world to do refer these collections.

Also there are some Art collections which are very interesting to see.

Even though it has a library and art collections, it is more of a Botanical garden than anything else. The most I liked in this place is the Japanese garden and the Rose garden. The Chinese garden is still under construction and is expected to open up for public around mid 2008.

Over all it is an one day event and beautiful place for people who appreciate nature. Below are some pictures of this place.
