My parents will be visiting from New Zealand next month. They are gardening

cool/huge/funky nurseries in the area. Where are they?

I think you'll get a better response.

My suggestions would include Rogers Gardens, Descanso Gardens
and Huntington Library.

Those are all great suggestions. I'd add the Getty Museum Gardens to the list as
well. Forget Monrovia - it is a wholesale grower and there is nothing to look at
unless you like endless rows of the same kind of plants. Besides, their growing
fields are scattered al over SoCal and not very convenient to LA.
