Samuel Ayres Legacy Society

Samuel Ayres was a visionary and the driving force in the establishment of the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden. We are grateful to these forward-thinking individuals and families who share Ayres’ vision of a great public garden and have named the Los Angeles Arboretum Foundation in their wills or estate plans.
