Since 2013, Gateway Gardens has grown into a local “biodiversity hotspot.” Our immersive native plant exhibits highlight California’s diverse flora and habitats, demonstrate drought-tolerant systems in one of the warmest spots on campus, provide resources for local wildlife, and serve as a study-ground for university and high school student researchers. Our newly remodeled Edible Garden showcases small-scale food-growing strategies. Discover nearly 200 species thriving in Gateway Gardens, a gem and refuge in the community!

Regular Garden hours are Thursday-Saturday 11am – 4pm
