In a city hungry for green spaces the nearly one-acre rooftop garden, located at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, offers Angelinos a peaceful refuge. Join the weekly Garden Tour to learn more about the 45 blooming trees – red coral trees in the summer, orange Chinese pistache trees in autumn - and the Gehry-designed 15-ton blue and white Delftware rose shaped fountain.
Clear that he did not want the typical ‘modern’ garden at his Disney Hall masterpiece, Gehry had the space designed with a softer sensibility, including ornamental grasses, perennials and even creeping roses. Since its creation in 2003 the rooftop garden has been a testament to the possibilities of horticulture in public places.
