THE HUNTINGTON LIBRARY, ART MUSEUM, & BOTANICAL GARDENS - The Most Beautiful Garden In California

The Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens, known as The Huntington, is a collections-based educational and research institution located in San Marino, California established by Henry & Arabella Huntington.

The Camelia Gardens include nearly 80 different camellia species and some 1,200 cultivated varieties. Most of them are at the peak of their bloom in January and February. In 1910, Henry E. Huntington began acquiring a large collection of outdoor sculptures, personally deciding on the exact location for each piece of garden statuary. Love is a common theme among the garden sculptures, most of which dates from the late 17th and early 18th centuries and come from various cultural traditions across Europe and beyond. Fountain in
