Richards Courtyard


An outdoor patio space in the Botanical Center, Richards Courtyard is an excellent complement to the Ahmanson Classroom as a reception space, or can stand alone as an intimate venue for alfresco dining.
A built-in fireplace provides ambience on a cool evening, while the adjacent lawn offers additional setup space and a view of the neighboring Children’s Garden.
