About

Bonsai garden programs: operate and fund 3 bonsai gardens; (1) Lake Merritt, Oakland, CA (2) Huntingon Garden, San Marino, CA (3) Clark Garden, Fresno, CA. All gardens offer visitors the opportunity to observe the best bonsai specimens on the west coast. All gardens maintain regular hours to the public and are staffed by volunteer docents available to educate and answer inquiries.
