Gourmet in the Garden on Magnolia Lawn is a great way to enjoy the garden. The Kitchen at Descanso offers a variety of wonderful mains, salads, and appetizers and their signature famous enchiladas. Requirements are simple to order your meal and make a reservation ahead, then pick it up at the kiosk in the courtyard. Your reserved – socially distanced – “table” will be waiting for you at Magnolia Lawn. You only need a membership or ticket to enter the gardens.
Descanso Gardens – a spacious Rx for these times
Descanso Gardens’ guided Bloom Strolls (through cherry blossoms, flowering trees and other vibrant florets) are rightfully considered to be hiLos Angeles . You could not ask for a lovelier garden than this place. It put everyone in the best of moods when we were there. As my friend pointed out, even the children were on their best behavior for nature. There’s a park bench just waiting for you.

We miss Maple in Descanso Gardens so much! Here are the highlights of our visit there only last year.
Descanso Gardens’ Maple was known for its Belgian Waffle with fresh market berries, and the Aged-Cheddar Omelet with 2-year-aged Grafton and Vermont cheddar. Executive Chef Philip Mack topped his Deviled Eggs with lemon/chive egg mousse, smoked paprika, and an applewood smoked bacon crumble.
Bloody Mary Crafted Cocktails of titos vodka, traditional red spicy or mild,lime, olives.
Squash Blossom Frittata with organic farm eggs, zucchini, tomato, goat cheese, goat cheese-stuffed blossoms, chipotle carrot hollandaise.
Espresso Toast on house-made banana bread, espresso mascarpone, puffed buckwheat
Signature (buttermilk) Fried chicken and Beignets with herbed honey and delicate fried thyme
A lush dessert topped with fresh berries.
