Botanic Garden in Your Backyard
Season 8
Episode 6
In the second of our two-part series about the San Diego Botanic Garden, we focus on the Garden’s work with plants native to San Diego County and Southern California. The Garden’s onsite collections include three native plant displays: a landscape demonstration garden, a demonstration of plants important to the native Kumeyaay peoples, and chaparral preserve native to the site.
