Visitors can walk among trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses drawn from plant communities across California, and the collection includes many rare and endangered species. Free guided tours led by docents run on dry Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. The garden was founded in 1940 and is open to the public.
