Celebrate the start of spring at Gamble Garden! Gamble Garden welcomes you to spend a beautiful April morning exploring the California native plants at Gamble. Second Saturdays are free and open to all.
Did you know that Gamble Garden has its own Native Garden? This 0.3-acre parcel features water-wise California Native Plants, including many Pacific Coast Iris hybrids that bloom in late winter. Come explore this area with us, along with the rest of the garden, including our Mediterranean bed installation.
