Plumeria Festival at the LA Arboretum
Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the largest public Plumeria Grove in the western continental U.S.
Plumeria is one of those exotic flowers that brings to mind memories of home, family, and community. For Arturo Martinez, plumerias reminded him so much of Cuba where he grew up, he filled his garden in Hollywood with plumeria plants. He generously shared his bountiful collection with the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden where his donated plants were the first placed in what has become the Plumeria Grove.
We celebrate our Plumeria Grove, now the largest public collection in the western continental United States. The 100-plus trees bloom in summer, delighting visitors with their colorful, intricate flowers, and heavenly scents. Plumeria evoke memories of childhood, family and friends, vacations, and garden visits. Best known and popularized by Hawaii and leis, the plant is native to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central and northern South America.
Whether you are a plumeria lover or newbie, the Plumeria Festival has you covered: One-stop shopping with more than 20 plant and merchandise vendors, tours of the grove, garden tips from experts, entertainment, food trucks, and more. The Plumeria Festival is presented by Longo Toyota-Lexus.
