First time here …read more It was a pleasant surprise to find this beautiful garden area in the city . We came here to see specifically to see the Trolls by artist Thomas Dambo that come here annually. There are 12 Trolls placed about the park which you walk to find. You are instructed to follow the "sparkles" that show which way to go along the paths throughout the garden. We were fortunate to meet a regular patron of this park , and he graciously led us to each Troll. He also shared additional information about the garden and pointed out unique points of interest too. We had a great time looking for the Trolls and enjoyed the lovely day walking around these gardens . * I ended up purchasing an annual pass at the end of our tour. Today's entry fee was applied toward the pass too. Looking forward in coming again.

We came here on Mother's Day, specifically for the butterfly exhibit. It was very busy, as to be…read moreexpected but we managed to get parking in the nearby lot. The butterfly exhibit was nice but very small. It almost seemed like 30 minutes was far too long to be in here - and I love butterflies! We did the feeding experience as well but had to sort of get the butterfly on the feeders by putting it close to them because they weren't landing on their own. It was a nice experience but I've been to bigger and nicer exhibits. We explored the garden a bit but it was a pretty hot day so didn't see everything. My kids loved the troll exhibit and the rose garden was also very pretty. I'd want to explore this garden again but on a non-holiday and cooler weather if possible :)

Nick, Sal and his team are incredibly professional, timely and reliable. I reached out to Nick via…read moreYelp last week and within a matter of minutes he was able to provide a response. His message was professional and thorough, and I knew from the get-go I wanted to work with him. He was able to come take a look at our overgrown yard that same day and provided a price that afternoon. He was incredibly efficient at finding a day to come do the work and they were done weeding, landscaping and cleaning within 4 hours. I am beyond satisfied with my experience with Sal's Gardening Service and will be turning to them for gardening and landscaping needs in the future.

This is one of the hidden gems in Torrance and the South Bay. You can't miss their sign when you're…read moredriving down Hawthorne! They have a nursery here and they have a very wide selection of plants! I'd say they're known for their variety of staghorn ferns and air plants but they also have monsteras and other popular house plants. Everything is priced very reasonably. This is a great place to get gifts for friends and family. They are very professional and helpful. They're very patient and answered all my questions when it came to taking care of my staghorn fern. I loved mine so much that I came back a few weeks later to pick up a second one. One of the best things about this place is their koi ponds! They have two inside! You can buy fish food for $3 and feed them at your leisure. It's perfect for kids. For those who own staghorn ferns, they also help with remounting them when they get too big but you'll need to contact them directly and see if the service is available.

Rainforest Flora in Torrance was absolutely worth the drive. From the moment we arrived and entered…read morethe nursery, it felt amazing--almost like walking into a tropical oasis. The whole place was very clean, well-organized, and full of healthy plants. Their prices were also very reasonable and affordable. I was able to get some Bromeliad Fireball and Alcantarea imperialis for a great price. The staff was professional, friendly, and very informative, which made the visit even better. Overall, this nursery is a great place for anyone who loves tropical plants. I'm very happy with my visit and will definitely come back for more plants

There's a community garden here with free mulch. There's a basketball court as well. I noticed lots of folks doing tai chi here. I also noticed groups of nannies meeting up here with their kids. There's no sand, dirt or wood chips at the playground area. The bad: One of the four swings could've used WD40. It was very squeaky. There was a man on the bench by the playground alone with a book who looked to be video recording the playground. I wasn't sure if it was innocent and he was potentially just video chatting with someone and showing them where he was but I was suspicious that a man would come alone and choose a bench by the loud children's play area to read rather than sit at one of the many other benches further away for a quiet space to read. The interesting: There's plenty of street parking. The playground is flat.

There are also walking paths that are great for riding bikes and scooters. The play area is pretty small for such a large park but it has the basic essentials and the kids had fun. Probably wouldn't make it a point to try to go to this park, but a good choice if you're in the area. Hope you check it out and enjoy!
