Winter Gardens in Southern California

Home edition of the LA Times today featured a few (not so well known) gardens to visit to "relax, renew and restore". Here are three of them... These are definitely going on my "to do in LA" list.

The Orcutt Ranch includes 24 acres of gardens and a citrus orchard (you can even pick fruit there in the summer). It is supposedly best to visit during the cool winer months.

Wattles Mansion and Gardens will celebrate 100th birthday next year. It is popular for weddings and other events, but also for the gardens that extend into a park going deep into Hollywood hills.

The Mother Center, Self-Realization Fellowship. Apparently great views of downtown LA, on a clear day. I really want to see this one, and these days, since it's cold and windy, could be perfect for some good views of the downtown.
