For those who have not visited in a while, come see what’s new and blooming this fall. Delight in the dahlias, begonias, fuchsias, and so much more. Introduce a friend to the Gardens or bring your family and spend the day wandering the 47 acres of botanical bliss.

Find a plethora of plants to treasure at the Nursery and receive 20% off our full selection of California natives. Find inspiration for your home garden, have a family picnic, walk the dog, or find a quiet spot to melt the day away... just a few ideas to get you started.

Admission can be purchased at the door. Please plan to carpool if possible, parking is limited and this is a popular day to visit.
