San Diego Botanic Garden

Where Plants Grow People

Once just two parcels of land in the 1900s, San Diego Botanic Garden has bloomed into a botanical garden of national presence: a must-visit San Diego destination. Our gardens, collections, facilities, staff, and volunteers showcase a dynamic living public laboratory—creating new knowledge, preserving plants, educating, and providing extraordinary experiences for all.
