A Walk in a Botanic GArden
September 7, 2012
As the cooler days arrive and folks think about sprucing up their gardens, a visit this weekend to the Santa Ana Botanic Garden in Claremont could be a great outing. The gardens opened in 1927 with the intention of preserving local plants. It is an 86 acres site which offers a great education on many varieties of native plants. There are many docents on hand to explain this huge variety of plants which are nicely grouped together in particular regional areas. On Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. there are regular garden walks. The gardens also include some giant sculptures of bugs that were created for an exhibit by David Rogers.
Pack a picnic, bring the family and enjoy this truly special botanic garden. You can learn about plants that will do well and will be great additions to your personal garden.
