About this experience
Welcome to the heart of downtown LA - its flower and fashion districts, where local professionals come each day to acquire the gamut of things they may need for their work - from wholesale flower arrangements to off-label clothing for commercials.
Enjoy the bustle of it all and imagine your own dream world of working in Hollywood or the OC, while mingling with people who have forged a living out of their unique skills.
The LA Flower District has a rich history that spans over a century when flower growers began selling their products on the streets of Downtown Los Angeles, and during WWII, the district provided flowers to soldiers and their families and also became a hub for Japanese-Americans who were interned during the war.
On this private tour, you will learn about the history of downtown, about the two districts, and about the way immigrant communities have continued to keep downtown thriving since the first Mexican immigrants settled in the area over 500 years ago.
