The California Garden

California Agriculture

Closely related to the history of California’s cultural diversity, is her agriculture.  California has some of the

richest farmland in the United States.  It grows diverse crops, from avocados to dates, wheat to chayotes. 

Part of The Garden’s focus will be to illustrate and bring alive the state’s rich agricultural history.  California

leads the nation in organic farming techniques and sustainable/regenerative agriculture.  Demonstration

gardens will inform the public and provide fresh organic produce to The Garden’s restaurants

.

California Heritage

Each culture has its own story.

The California Garden will be a place for them to be told to the world.

It would be hard to name a place with greater diversity than California. 

The Garden will celebrate California’s diverse environments and the

indigenous and immigrant groups that have melded together to form her rich

and unique heritage.

Demonstrated within The Garden will be the impact of these groups’

contributions on our plants, agriculture, technologies, culture, culinary and

medicinal traditions, our land, and the economy.
