Explore the incredible diversity of plant habitats from six continents: redwood forests, deserts, tropical forests, and wetlands. Feast your senses on collections of orchids, carnivorous plants, roses, and more! Homecoming guests can visit via a guided tour or stroll independently. Admission for Homecoming guests is included in the Class Pass. The Garden is open six days a week (closed on Tuesdays) from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Last entry at 4:30 p.m.

Docent-led tours are available on Sunday, October 20 at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. THE GARDEN WILL BE CLOSED ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19 DUE TO THE RED FLAG WEATHER WARNING AND POTENTIAL FIRE DANGER. WE EXPECT THE GARDEN TO RE-OPEN ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20.
