Native Gardens in Our Area
Below is a list and map of many native plant gardens in our area. The list contains both public and semi-public gardens and it is not yet complete – please take a moment to find your favorite garden and see if it’s on the list. If not, please make a note for us in the comments section or send an email. The gardens are varied: The Laguna Dominguez bike trail edges a pleasant urban bike trail north of Alondra Park while the El Dorado Park version features quiet hiking trails in a restored near-riparian habitat, and the Prisk Elementary Garden has nature exploration as a teaching tool as its goal.
