Santa Barbara Botanic Garden is a renowned center for conservation and education, with a rich history and a mission to cultivate a deeper understanding and appreciation of California's unique flora. As the first botanic garden to exclusively focus on native plants, the Garden has dedicated nearly a century of work to exploring the relationship between plants and people. Founded in 1926 by philanthropist Anna Dorinda Blaksley Bliss, the Garden spans 13 acres in Mission Canyon and combines aesthetic beauty, educational programs, and scientific research.

With a team of dedicated scientists, horticulturists, and advocates, the Garden strives to conserve native plants and habitats for the health of our planet and ourselves.
