VALUED CUSTOMERS & FRIENDS+

Our hearts are breaking for the country right now, and it wouldn’t feel right to hide that from you.

We know first hand the incredible benefits of diversity, inclusivity and respect. The diversity of our team is the foundation for the creativity and quality of our work. Inclusivity and respect bring out their best -and ours.

Now more than ever, we are happy LA is home, and we are committed to digging in to make this world a better place. We are also grateful to have team and family members, clients and friends of every permutation of humanity along side us as we do so.

Sincerely,
Cassy and Kirk

Enchanted Stroll

By Isara Ongwiseth: We are returning to Descanso often as we work on a new project. Each day, as we pass the the Center Circle, we revel in its now established bounty of blooms. Six foot Hummingbird sage! This is its last summer, and the latest is most certainly the greatest. View Gallery

TEAM UPDATE+

Farewell David Brown

The New Look for LA would not exist were it not for the vision of Descanso Garden‘s forward looking executive director David Brown, who retires this month.

In the midst of drought, David led Descanso and Los Angeles toward an authentic, sustainable, lush and leafy aesthetic. We all have a more resilient future for it. (See KCET Lost LA)

Thank you, David, for your friendship and stewardship of this remarkable resource.

 

Rest in Peace Paul Herzog

Los Angeles lost a guiding light this month. Paul Herzog led the Ocean Friendly Gardening Program for Surfrider Foundation, working tirelessly to give us cleaner surf and a more beautiful city. You are missed, Paul.
