The L.A. County Arboretum is one of the few public gardens in the state, and the country, that has remained open throughout the shutdown. Here's why.
California allows some retailers to open with curbside service, including bookstores, florists and toy stores. Many parks will reopen Saturday.
Peacock Day, which was scheduled for March 28, is one of the many events the Arboretum has had to cancel during the shutdown; Mother’s Day was another.A peacock hangs out near a closed wooden bench at the Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden. The Arboretum is open to the public, and visits can be scheduled online.
He knows the decision disappointed some — “a lot of people come to the Arboretum one day a year and that’s Mother’s Day” — but he thinks people will understand. “One of the best things about this situation is how supportive people have been.

This is a community garden, as well as a tourist attraction, and it really does feel like a village right now.
