Nestled in West Los Angeles, this venerable Ficus rubiginosa, affectionately known as Grandmother, stands gracefully, approximately 183 years strong. Her expansive canopy invites gazes upward, evoking a sense of eternity. Witness to the long-cherished annual Brentwood Spring Art Show, she has cradled countless moments of creativity. Additionally, her roots intertwine with the community’s heart as West LA celebrated the opening of the Hammer Museum, a beacon of culture. Grandmother offers wisdom and solace, reminding onlookers to persevere and to cherish the beauty of community, the essence of which flourishes beneath her steadfast shade.
