About this organization
Mission
To conserve California native plants and habitats for the health and well-being of people and the planet.
About
The Horticulture Program designs, installs, and maintains the Garden's 78 acres of living plant collections and historic landmarks. The garden connects and engages guest with California flora through sensational displays of seasonal wildflowers, ecosystem themed trails that walk across California from desert to redwoods, and gardens that celebrate taxonomic diversity of Dudleya and Manzanita. Newer interpretation themed gardens also model sustainability themes within the Home Demonstration Garden and Native Pollinator Garden. The Horticulture team also manages two plant nurseries, one retail sales to the public and the other that supports the regeneration of the living collection.
