The Getty Center, Central Garden

A work of art that changes as the seasons do is the Central Garden. Each visit presents new sights, sounds, and smells. The 134,000 square foot Central Garden, designed by Californian artist Robert Irwin, is located in the center of the Getty Center.


A walkway spans a stream, meanders through a variety of vegetation, and then gradually descends to a plaza where bougainvillea climbs on trellises that resemble umbrellas. The stream flows over a stone waterfall into a pool that is surrounded by an azalea maze. Continue your stroll around the pool's lovely landscaping.


The landscaping uses plants from more than 500 different species. All of the garden's foliage and components were chosen to emphasize the interaction of light, color, and reflection. The Central Garden has changed since the Center's opening in 1997 as a result of the growth and pruning of its plants. The palette is continually expanding with new plants.

In addition to seeing incredible works of art, visiting the Getty gives you a rare chance to explore a different side of Los Angeles. There are two sculpture gardens, the Central Garden, a Cactus Garden, and wonderful vistas of Los Angeles. "An evolving piece of art, designed to alter with the seasons," describes the Central Garden. The vegetation and building materials in the 134,000 square foot Central Garden were "chosen to emphasize the interplay of light, color, and reflection." The landscaping uses plant material from more than 500 different species.

Every day from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm, 10:00 am to 9:00 pm on Saturdays, and closed on Mondays are the hours of operation for the Getty. Parking costs $20 but admission is free. The Getty Center is still closed right now.
