LOS ANGELES the BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL Two Day Itinerary: Parks & Gardens Lights, Camera, Action LOS ANGELES THE BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL Two day itinerary: Parks & Gardens Lights, camera, action. Los Angeles is a busy city that’s always on the go. But away from the film sets and Hollywood glamour, is an abundance of parks and gardens that balance out the bustle and offer some much-needed tranquillity. From tropical botanical gardens to intimate secret gardens, this two-day itinerary takes you on a tour of the most serene green spaces in Los Angeles. Day One Begin the day with a 30-minute drive from Beverly Hills Hotel to Arlington Garden. ARLINGTON GARDEN T: 0626-578-5434 | 275 Arlington Drive, Pasadena, CA 91105 A beautiful public space in Pasadena, Arlington Garden was built on the former private garden of a millionaire’s mansion. The only one of its kind in the area, the lesser-known park is filled with plants and vegetation from around the world, from Australia to Madagascar. Native wildlife, Mediterranean- style fountains and a labyrinth also await discovery within the tranquil space. Then, take a 10-minute drive to The Huntington. THE HUNTINGTON T: 0626-405-2100 | 1151 Oxford Road, San Marino, CA 91108 Part-library, part-art gallery, part-botanical gardens, after browsing the Huntington’s vast collection of books and artworks, head outside to explore the gardens, within which grow some 15,000 plant varieties. Don’t miss the Frances and Sidney Brody California Garden, the Desert Garden, or the striking Japanese Garden. Take a 10-minute drive to the next stop, Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden. LOS ANGELES COUNTY ARBORETUM & BOTANIC GARDEN T: 0626-821-3222 | 301 North Baldwin Avenue, Arcadia, CA 91007 Located in the heart of Rancho Santa Anita, the 127-acre Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden unites history and nature. It’s home to several historic structures from Native America and the late 19th century, and several beautiful conservation gardens filled with plants, herbs, roses, aquatic features and tropical greenhouses. Drive for 25 minutes to reach the penultimate garden of the day. The Dorchester, London | 45 Park Lane, London | Coworth Park, Ascot | Le Meurice, Paris | Hôtel Plaza Athénée, Paris Hotel Principe di Savoia, Milan | Hotel Eden, Rome | The Beverly Hills Hotel, Beverly Hills | Hotel Bel-Air, Los Angeles | Dubai (opening 2020) EXPOSITION PARK ROSE GARDEN T: 0213-763-0114 | 701 State Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90037 A stone’s throw from the California Science Center, Exposition Park Rose Garden adds a dose of colour to the concrete jungle. The seven-acre garden is filled with tens of thousands of rose bushes, covered in fragrant blooms of myriad colour and variety, arranged around a central fountain. The beautiful space is so important that in 1991 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Next, it’s a 20-minute drive to Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden. MILDRED E. MATHIAS BOTANICAL GARDEN T: 0310-825-1260 | Tiverton Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90095 Located on the south-eastern corner of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) campus, the 7.5-acre Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden is dedicated to the preservation of plant species from around the world. Make your way around the garden’s picturesque paths, discover areas dedicated to different world climates and keep an eye out for turtles and Japanese koi swimming in the stream and ponds. End the day with a 10-minute drive to Hotel Bel-Air or Beverly Hills Hotel. Day two Start the day with a 10-minute drive from Hotel Bel-Air or Beverly Hills Hotel to the Getty Center. THE CENTRAL GARDEN AT THE GETTY CENTER T: 0310-440-7300 | 1200 Getty Center Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90049 A living work of art at the Getty Center, the Central Garden takes the artistic ethos of the museum outside. The 134,000-square-foot space features several picturesque specialty gardens and water features centred around a pool, upon which floats a maze of green azaleas. New plants and gardens are constantly added, so there’s something new to see on every visit. Then, take a 15-minute drive to San Vicente Mountain Park. SAN VICENTE MOUNTAIN PARK T: 0310-836-1040 | 17500 Mulholland Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90272 For 360° views, San Vicente Mountain Park is the place to go. A popular place for hiking, mountain biking, horse riding and picnicking, the 10-acre park lies between the Santa Monica Mountains and Los Angeles. Climb up to the viewing platform (a former military radar tower) for the best vistas of the mountains, San Fernando Valley and the city. Continue north with a 15-minute drive to The Japanese Garden. The Dorchester, London | 45 Park Lane, London | Coworth Park, Ascot | Le Meurice, Paris | Hôtel Plaza Athénée, Paris Hotel Principe di Savoia, Milan | Hotel Eden, Rome | The Beverly Hills Hotel, Beverly Hills | Hotel Bel-Air, Los Angeles | Dubai (opening 2020) THE JAPANESE GARDEN T: 0818-756-8166 | 6100 Woodley Avenue, Van Nuys, CA 91406 A slice of Japan in the San Fernando Valley, The Japanese Garden brings Far-Eastern charm and nature to Los Angeles. Known as the ‘Garden of Water and Fragrance’, it was designed by Doctor Koichi Kawana and showcases the Chisen-Kaiyushiki style – a “wet garden with promenade”. Over 6.5 acres, there is a zen meditation garden, cherry blossom trees and wisteria, water gardens decorated with hand carved stone lanterns and an authentic teahouse and tea garden. Next, take a 20-minute drive to Amir’s Garden at Griffith Park. AMIR’S GARDEN Griffith Park, Los Angeles, CA 90027 Griffith Park may be best known as the home of the Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood sign, but look a little closer and you’ll discover intimate spaces such as Amir’s Garden. The lesser-known ornamental garden is run by volunteers and is dedicated to the late gardener Amir Dialameh. Used by hikers seeking a shady spot to rest, the tranquil space affords beautiful views of the valley. To reach the final destination, it’s a 30-minute drive. VIRGINIA ROBINSON GARDENS T: 0310-550-2087 | 1008 Elden Way, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 The Virginia Robinson Gardens offers a rich green paradise set around a historic Beverly Hills mansion. The estate, built in 1911, was owned by Virginia and Harry Robinson, who frequently threw legendary parties in the grounds. Nowadays, it’s open (by appointment only) to visitors, who can tour the beautiful botanical gardens and grand house. Finish with a 10-minute walk to Beverly Hills Hotel or a 10-minute drive to Hotel Bel-Air. All journey times are approximate and subject to variation.

CA-105 Location: Griffith Park, 4730 Crystal Springs Drive, Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California. Latitude: 34.133970 Longitude: -118.288494 (center of picnic area, iTouchMaps.com) Griffith Park is a 4,310 acre, Los Angeles city park in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles, California. The park is located 6 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains. The north and east borders of the park are adjacent to the 134 Freeway (Ventura), and the 5 Freeway (Golden State). The south border is Los Feliz Boulevard, but including the Municipal Plunge and playground, south of the boulevard, and to the west are the residences of the Los Feliz and the Hollywood Hills areas. Significance: Griffith Park is Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument No. 942, adopted on January 27, 2009. Colonel Griffith J. Griffith donated the 3,015-acre property to the City of Los Angeles in 1896, and still it remains the largest private land gift for Los Angeles, and has mostly an untouched landscape in the center of an urban metropolis. Large portions of this landscape appear to retain integrity dating back to the period of native American land use. Within the park are some of the city’s most iconic treasures – Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood Sign, also Historic Cultural Monuments, as well as the Feliz Adobe, and a Gabrielino Indian site.1 Griffith Park Zoo (Old Zoo) was built in 1913, and is “inset at the north-facing base of hills forming Spring Canyon, below Old Zoo Trail.”2 The zoo closed in 1966 with the opening of the Los Angeles Zoo.

  • A SCOTTISH GOLF PIONEER DEVELOPS the WEST in AMERICA by Dean Knuth William Watson Circa 1920 at Age 60 William Watson Was An
    A SCOTTISH GOLF PIONEER DEVELOPS THE WEST IN AMERICA GOLF COURSE ARCHITECT WILLIAM WATSON 1860-1941 By Dean Knuth William Watson Circa 1920 at age 60 William Watson was an early pioneer in golf course architecture who immigrated from Fife, Scotland to America in 1898. In a successful career he had designed more than 100 golf courses by his retirement in 1929 when the Great Depression began. Many golfers know of Donald Ross and Alister Mackenzie but haven’t heard of Watson, yet many of his courses have survived close to a century or more. Minikahda Club in Minnesota was his first U.S. design and also his first job as head golf professional. He was prolific and a success in California. A number of his other best-known designs have hosted major USGA and PGA National Championships, including Harding Park, San Diego Country Club, the original Brentwood Country Club, Diablo Country Club, Berkeley Country Club and Orinda Country Club. He designed the original The Olympic Club Lake and Ocean courses plus many others which unfortunately did not survive housing developments on land that became more valuable as America grew. He was guided by the primary goal of maintaining naturalness in his designs. Watson wrote:, “A good rule is to stress the importance of fitting in all grading work to harmonize with the surrounding territory, mounds, slopes, grassy hollows, sand pits, all have their values in beautifying the setting of our greens and in giving them distinctive definition — if artificially arranged without appearance of artificiality.” He also believed that a course is more interesting if every green has a character all its own, giving the player something besides the flag to view in approaching the hole.
