This fall the Los ANGELES ARBORETUM AND BOTANIC GARDEN INVITES YOU TO
THE MOONLIGHT FOREST, an unforgettable evening experience of art,

THE GARDENS. Some depict beautiful animals, shimmering exotic flowers,
and intriguing figures from Chinese legends. An evening of dazzling
color and magic begins!
