Australian Garden

The Australian Garden is at the southwest portion of the Garden. Australia's coastal climate resembles Southern California weather, making native Australian plants such as Knifeleaf Acacia (slide 3) able to flourish here. Here at the Garden, you'll find a slice of Australia, with plants all the way from Perth to Brisbane. see more photos here

Butterfly Garden

Butterflies need a constant, reliable and varied supply of food and shelter throughout their entire life cycle. Butterfly larvae need leaves and blossoms for food. Adult butterflies need nectar and a place to lay eggs. To provide this supply, a variety of plants with varied bloom periods have been planted in the garden. see more photos here

Trail of Trees

The Trail of Trees was proposed in 2005 to replace invasive Brassicaceae, (mustard weed), on a 150 by 400- foot south slope in the garden. Garden volunteers, Boy Scouts and local groups groomed the area by pulling the mustard and spreading mulch. 50 varieties of trees are represented.  72 total trees have been planted. The trees show their various characteristics and perhaps might help the public in choosing trees for their own garden. Trees are available for dedication.
