Guests visiting the Clovis Botanical Garden walk through various themed garden areas, learn about different plant species and enjoy the scenery. The garden offers a calm environment for families and nature lovers to explore and relax.
The garden’s mission is to promote water conservation in the California Central Valley landscape through exhibits and programs that educate the public. Throughout the garden, informational signs are displayed next to each plant to teach visitors about each species.
In November 2002, the California Garden Club planted the first tree, a Valley oak. It was named the “Freedom Tree” to commemorate 9/11 and to pay tribute to the heroes and victims of that day. The garden would later open to the public in April 2004.
The garden spans over three acres and is maintained by volunteers. Without the passion and dedication of volunteers, the botanical garden would not exist.
The garden is open to the public every Wednesday through Sunday from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M. Admission is free for children and adults, and dogs are welcome on a leash. Guided tours are $5 per person and can be scheduled for groups of four to ten people. Tours are offered at 10 A.M. every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
A special event will be held on January 24, where guests can learn how succulents and cacti survive without rain. The event will start at 10 A.M. and end at 11:30 A.M. Admission is $5 per person and space is limited to 20 children.
The Clovis Botanical Garden is a popular location for families and walkers, as it is located between Dry Creek Trail and Dry Creek Park. It provides a peaceful stop to learn about plants and water conservation.
