Day seven of our daily readings from “Dear Los Angeles,” a collection of letters and diary entries from 1542 to 2018, while all of us quarantine in 2020.

Today’s excerpt from 1955 comes from Ruth Shellhorn, a landscape architect who was responsible for designing many celebrities’ gardens, and who left her biggest mark on the project of a lifetime - Disneyland. Much more than just plants, Shellhorn was actually responsible for designing a complete pedestrian circulation plan for the entire park. 

We love you, Los Angeles!
