The Huntington Library in San Marino, CA is combination of a library, botanical gardens and art collections. It's a great mish mosh of many things that I love and enjoy. What a perfect place to visit! I did not actually go into the library portion, rather I enjoyed the many gardens and art exhibits.
There are a variety of gardens which include the desert, tropical, rose, Japanese, Chinese, children's garden, and many more. Each variety of plant and flower are labeled for easy identification. Every few hundred feet, and along various pathways, you are transported into a different world of beauty. There is tea house in the Chinese garden (which was pretty pricey, so I did not actually stop by). The Japanese Garden has a lovely koi pond. There are ducks throughout the gardens. Again, I think that the photographs would best describe the scenery.The Huntington Library also offers several art exhibits and concerts at night. The most famous paintings at the Huntington are of 'Blue Boy' and 'Pinkie'. It's definitely worth the visit. You can pay to visit for the day or purchase an annual pass to enjoy the library and its activities year round.
