Huntington Gardens Botanical Drawing

The Huntington
Founded in 1919 in Pasadena, California.
The gardens cover 120 acres including Rose Gardens, Japanese Gardens, Chinese Gardens plus a dozen other specialty gardens.

Botanical Drawing workshop with art instructor Lisa Pompelli.

 
Always so much going on at The Huntington, even in December
