Pasadena has only one dedicated public garden, the Arlington Garden. A real hidden gem.
Its Italian style olive allee, numerous succulent and cactus gardens, an Arroyo Seco like pathway flanked by sycamores leading to a vernal pool, orange grove laid out in grids like historical California orange groves, paths and benches set throughout plant communities.
Open for visiting at no charge. Take a stroll this weekend and enjoy nature at its best (@ Arlington Garden).
You are as young as you feel. If you begin to feel the warmth of your soul, there will be a youthfulness in you that no one will be able to take away from you.
