This was a wonderful story by Lost in LA. Much of the history about the gardens I had learned as a ten-year-old boy I have forgotten. This was a great reminder. As a boy with a disability from 1968-74, I was part of the Harvest Garden project in 1970. We grew a garden of vegetables teaching us how food grew and how to cultivate it from seeds to harvest. I was able to convince my family that we needed to go there so I could show my garden to them. We spent a light rainy day there and I was able to show my garden bed to my family from afar. Sadly the garden area was closed off and had to look at it through a fence. But, I still was able to show it to them and where it was located in there. I also had my picture taken by the old Herald-Examiner newspaper of me and a few other kids in my garden. Our family lost the picture moving and I am still looking for it in the old paper through the public library. One of the best memories of my childhood being there.
@@kayhansen9229 Born in Compton. Lived in Silverlake a few doors down from the Laurel and Hardy Music Box film stairs. At the top of the stairs were Steve Mcqueen's parents. Lived in Glendale, and Huntington Beach, and my last residence before the USAF moved me again was Riverside. 64 as of this writing.
Let's be honest Dayscahnsow has historically been a club for people who have the privilege, time, and money to spend it there, a descanso from the chaos and poverty of nearby Los Angeles.
My late great grandfather Wasuke Hirota of Japanese decent contributed as a irrigation expert years ago, with the Foothill Citrus Ranch, Glendora California. Sadly, because of the Executive order 9066 Japanese relocation law he was imprisoned at Heart Mountain where he died. Life goes on, so as it does. Let's make awesome memories. Thanks for your service.

Who & What is KCET
Descanso, lost?????
are the camelias native? if not, get rid of them. the oak trees are more important!
Get rid of those non native ugly plants.
Waste of water fast forward three years the lakes are going dry.
Fast forward again, the lakes are on the rebound or full. There are gardens all over the world. I would prefer water going to gardens than pools.
Did the rioters burn that too.
