Re: getting to the Getty Museum

It's easy to get reservations--they aren't as crowded as they were at the beginning.

A little secret about getting to the Getty...this is
how I got in the day it opened!  Also, if the parking
lot is full, you can still get there.

Take the 10 towards Santa Monica, park in the
residential neighborhood close to the Santa Monica
Airport...I believe National is the exit, but don't
quote me on that.

Then, take the Big Blue Bus #14.  It drops you off
right at the base of the Getty.  And it's maybe 50
cents to ride one way.

Double check the bus route and determine where to
park. The last time I did this, there were no parking
restrictions in this neighborhood, so you shouldn't
have to worry about getting a parking citation.

please give us a report on your garden visits!

Chantal,
A few more friends chimed in with some suggestions
and some caveats.  I'll
copy them here unedited:

The Huntington is very nice indeed, a definite stop.
 Descanso Gardens
(http://www.descansogardens.org/site/) is also quite
nice, but their famous
camellias won't look like much. The Getty is
interesting too - you need
parking reservations beforehand. There's the LA
Arboretum
(http://www.arboretum.org/), which is pretty
extensive and has some nice
plantings, including a lot of Australian plants;
it's a little bit of a
drive out of LA proper but very easy to get to.
I don't know if I'd send someone to Theodore Payne.
I was just there about a
month ago and the pictures you see on their website
of the nursery is what
there is - pretty basic. Now, all I did was head
right for the nursery
itself and start loading up on gallon pots. We
didn't look around for any
garden area so maybe there's something nicer there.
They do have an
excellent collection of native seeds that a visitor
might be able to take
back home and the staff is first rate.
This one
http://parks.co.la.ca.us/virginia_gardens.html is
one I've meant to
try but never done.

I would suggest Chantal and her husband visit the
Getty museum in
Malibu.  Both the gardens and the museum are great.
++++++++++++++++++++++
The Getty villa in Malibu is closed now, they're
doing some kind of
renovation. The big Getty museum is up on the hill
above, ummm, ummm,
Westwood I think.
But their garden area is worth looking at, just not
the major reason for
going there.
