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.

The Garden's work with natives goes beyond its borders, as well, into the surrounding communities. There, the Garden's efforts combine research, science, environmental stewardship, and community involvement in local restoration projects. We'll tour those gardens and wild areas, meet the staff members who do this important work, and talk about ways viewers can emulate those efforts in our own gardens.
