RELATED: A Guide to L.A.’s Best Secret Gardens One specimen in Santa Ana is on the official registry of Big Trees, measuring 58 feet high, 98 inches around the trunk, and more than 73 feet across the spread of the branches. are Jacaranda mimosifolia, one of the 49 different types of flowering jacaranda trees. Sessions died in 1940, but her legacy continued as Los Angeles grew and jacarandas became one of the most recognizable trees in the region. Jacarandas, with their beautiful blossoms in a distinctive purple color, were an easy sell, and in the 1920s and ’30s they were planted extensively in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. Word of San Diego’s transformation into a colorful and lush environment quickly spread up the coast, as did the popularity of the exotic plants that Sessions demonstrated could flourish here. In 2006 the Women’s Museum of California inducted her into their Women’s Hall of Fame and produced a short video about her contributions to the city. That property was filled with cypress, eucalyptus, palms, and jacaranda-and, along the way, was re-dubbed Balboa Park.Ī post shared by Zoe & Tobi on at 4:26pm PDTĪ bronze statue of Sessions was placed in the park in 1998, and it’s still the only statue of a historical woman anywhere in San Diego.

In exchange, she could use the property as a kind of laboratory and growing field.

Sessions agreed to amend the situation by planting 100 new trees per year in the park and 300 trees per year elsewhere on public lands around the city. The field was barren, pest-ridden, and lacked any formal landscaping. Sessions leased 32 acres of land owned by the city of San Diego which was then known as City Park. In 1892, she made the deal that would change California’s landscape forever. She became the most sought-after landscape designer for fashionable homeowners and residential developers in the fast-growing city. She was fascinated with plants growing in exotic parts of the world, and was experimenting with bringing seeds and plants from Europe, Mexico, and South America, as well as cultivating native California plants. Her job as a teacher lasted only one school year, but she quickly purchased a nursery and flower shop and established flower cultivating fields in Coronado, Pacific Beach, and Mission Hills. Plants had always been her passion, but once she arrived in Southern California, that passion exploded. A post shared by Dabid Garcia on at 6:09pm PDT
