About Virginia Robinson Gardens Historic American Landscapes Survey (HALS) Documentation
The Virginia Robinson Gardens is a 6.2-acre botanical garden, historic landscape, and residence. The property is owned by Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation and jointly managed with the Friends of Robinson Gardens.
This HALS documentation represents a comprehensive survey of the development of the Virginia Robinson Gardens and includes historical hardscape plans and planting plans, site sections, fountain details, site furnishings, and site analysis. The project also includes an inventory of the site’s existing hardscape, planting, and site amenities. Large-format photographs document important aspects of the site. A written history provides comprehensive scholarly documentation.
Professional landscape architects, designers, photographers, historians, and many others contributed thousands of pro bono hours to complete this project.
