The Tropic of Delight

The Tropics is more than a nursery or a garden center- it's an oasis, accessible whenever you need it at 7056 Santa Monica Blvd at La Brea.



There are delightful seashell and driftwood arrangements throughout the alleys. Don't miss the walls and desk of living moss.

Another white deco jewel by architect CJ Smale at 191 Hudson Ave at 2nd St in Hancock Park. Built in 1929-1930. Check out amazing stained glass window and gated carport.
