"Fun with the Family"

The gardens contain one of the world’s most diverse plant collections, including California natives, exotic tropicals, palms, and bamboo. This site was formerly owned by
avid plant collector and naturalist Ruth Baird Larabee, who donated her thirty-acre estate to the public in 1957. The gardens are open for self-guided tours as well as a
super chance to see the namesake resident quails in a natural bird refuge.

"A Fun Garden Adventure"

This is a wonderful place for a garden adventure.  They have an interesting children's garden area and often host special events for kids.

Grownups will enjoy the rare Australian plants and the water wise gardens.  Bring your walking shoes and a stroller.  There are lots of hills.  There is a beautiful pergola to have a picnic in the main gardens.  Check the website, they offer free admission one day a month.
