Hartley Botanica

Wedding venue

😠 Terrible service! We found it to be a nice place but finding out how my family was treated and lied to changes everything.

Desert Garden

Botanical garden

👍👍 This garden looks other worldly. It was easily my favorite garden at Huntington.

Heaps Peak Arboretum Day Use Area

Botanical garden

👍👍 At 76 years old, I found this a very easy short walk, by starting on the path that leads to the left. Their weren't very many flowers in bloom, but the variety of conifers that were planted by the women after the huge fire in the 30s, was beautiful to see. A lot of good views and places to sit along...
