Los Angeles County Arboretum, Descanso Gardens and Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden join 500+ public gardens across the nation in a national day that recognizes public gardens and their important role in educating the public on environmental preservation through plant and water conservation.
Presented by the nonprofit American Public Gardens Association (APGA) in partnership with Rain Bird, the nation’s public gardens will mark the day with special events and activities for schools, families and thousands of visitors to explore and discover their local public garden, while learning about each garden’s commitment to education, research and environmental stewardship.
