Gottlieb Native Plant Garden, Beverly Hills

Interview with Susan Gottlieb and Scott Logan

(Theodore Payne, 4/15/21) With sweeping views of downtown Los Angeles, lush plants, and stylish paths and hardscapes, the Gottlieb Native Garden is a glamourous landscape.

Hillsides make the best natural gardens.

And the stars of this space are the animals who call it home. More than 400 wildlife species have been documented on this property, a much greater density and diversity than would be found in any conventional residential landscape. The water features, habitat nests, and over 200 types of plants are carefully curated to create a haven for Southern California biodiversity. Explore the terraced hillsides and vibrant plantings of this iconic garden by tour. The Native Plant Garden Tour takes place periodically. For tickets see nativeplantgardentour.org.
