Hannah Carter Japanese Garden

The naturalistic hillside site features streams, a waterfall, a tea house, and blooming magnolia and camellia trees.

[2][3][4] The 1.5 acres (0.61 ha) site was originally developed in 1927 by oilman Gordon G. Guiberson as a Hawaiian garden on the Harry Calandar estate by landscape architect A.E.

[11] In 2011, UCLA closed the garden to the public because of rising costs, deferred maintenance, and lack of attendance as a result of limited parking.

[2][6][7] On July 27, 2012 the Los Angeles County Superior Court halted the listing by issuing a preliminary injunction.

[13] A trial date was scheduled beginning July 20, 2015 at the Santa Monica Courthouse of Los Angeles Superior Court.

[14] In June 2016, UCLA sold the garden to developer Mark Gabay, the co-founder of the Charles Company, for US$12.5 million.

[16] Moreover, the main gate, garden houses, bridges and family shrines were built in Japan and reassembled in California.
