California Botanic Garden
The 86 acres of the California Botanic Garden in Claremont, originally known as Rancho Santa Ana Botanic, are entirely devoted to native flora to California, including some stunning wildflower displays. The garden, which is home to more than 22,000 plants, offers materials to assist people in creating and caring for native gardens on their own.
The California Botanic Garden offers unique art installations, festivals, performances, concerts, and seasonal events in addition to flora. Be mindful of the heat and bring lots of water when traveling during the summer.
The largest botanic garden exclusively devoted to California native species is the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden. Explore the 86 acres of the Garden to see a variety of plants and flowers, such as those in the Alluvial Gardens, California Plant Communities, and Indian Hill Mesa. With over 22,000 native Californian species, some of which are rare or endangered, the Garden is a "living museum." Daily hours of operation at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden are 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, with the exception of New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.
The price of admission is $10 for adults, $6 for seniors (65+) and students (with ID), $4 for kids (3–12), and free for kids under 3. Throughout the year, there are sporadic Free Days available; details can be found on the website. On Wednesdays through Sundays from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm, the Garden is open with "restricted capacity." Make sure to buy your tickets early.
