In 1959, it was first planted with California native plants, but has evolved to a collection of some 1,200 plant species representing many regions and climates, with areas devoted to cacti and succulents, tropical plants, native grasses, New Zealand plants, palms, herbs, bulbs, and redwood trees. Its four greenhouses display orchids, bromeliads, and ferns. The garden also features a small pond with a waterfall and an island, as well as koi and turtles.
