OUR TOUR
The Native Gardens are the special focus of our group. Staff horticulturist and CNPS member AMY BULONE is meeting us at the gate at 10 a.m. to escort us on a “backstage” tour of their propagation and growing areas followed by a guided tour through the California Natives exhibits.
After that we will explore other areas of the arboretum on our own stopping at Discovery Stations staffed by docents as we go.
Event Leaders: Amy Bulone and Robin Huber.
RSVP/Registration required. See button link below.
