Robinson Virginia Gardens

Harry and Virginia Robinson's 6,000-square-foot home, tucked behind the Beverly Hills Hotel, is impressive, but not nearly as impressive as the 6.2-acre grounds, which feature a sparkling pool, his-and-hers tennis courts, and enough flora to make Martha Stewart apoplectic. Clearly the department store business was good to this family, which deeded the estate to the county in the 1980s. At one point the Robinsons employed 12 full-time gardeners to tend the multiple rose gardens, Italian terrace garden and dense jungle of Australian king palms--the largest collection outside Australia.
