Is there anything better than a stroll through the Getty Museum's Central Garden an hour before sunset on a sunny summer day? In a word: No. The garden was created by Robert Irwin and the design takes up 134,000 square feet. The tree-lined walkways, the stream and waterfall, the specialty areas — there's no other experience like it in Los Angeles. In the "Bowl Garden" alone you can find kangaroo paw, golden angels' trumpet, crape myrtle, floribunda roses, sage and verbena. The space feels majestic and intimate at the same time.<br>
