SUMMARY: The camellia forest at Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge, California, is one of the biggest collections in the United States, despite being in a hot and dry climate. The camellias have an interesting history dating back to World War II when Japanese families who owned nurseries were forced to sell their collections due to incarceration. Manchester Boddy, who owned the property, bought these plants at a fraction of their value, sparking the collection at Descanso Gardens. The camellias at Descanso Gardens are old and unique due to their origins and history. For more information, visit https://www.descansogardens.org/.
