Discovery Garden The 2-acre
Discovery Garden illustrates low water use landscaping. Plants were selected for their decorative qualities, easy maintenance and low water needs. The plant species are either California native or have adapted to the climate. On the last Saturday in October the Center hosts an annual garden festival and plant sale. The garden is always open.
