Native Plants & People Celebration Activities

1-4 pm: Native Garden
Enjoy the blazing colors of wildflowers in our California Native Garden and see some fine examples of native crafts, baskets and tule toys. Garden guides will be leading hands-on demonstrations of indigenous people’s crafts. Try your hand at making tule twine, elderberry rattles and grinding acorn flour. Take a mini tour of the Native Garden with a garden naturalist and stroll through purple irises, wild lilac and a rainbow of wild flowers.

Noon to 3 pm: Children’s Garden
In the Children’s Garden, families can bring their young children for a California native experience. They are kicking off our weekly Bean Sprouts Family Days. Learn to make a cattail bracelet, decorate a redwood windsock, help plant natives in the garden and enjoy family-friendly demonstrations of traditional uses of native plants. Great for children 3 and up, bring a picnic and enjoy the day. Follow signs from either entry gate.
