Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden promotes botany, conservation and horticulture to inspire, inform and educate the public and the scientific community about California’s native flora.

The Garden is devoted to the collection, cultivation, study and display of native California plants and to graduate training and research in plant systematics and evolution. Through all its programs, the Garden makes significant contributions to the appreciation, enjoyment, understanding and thoughtful utilization of our natural heritage.

More than half of RSABG’s 86 acres is devoted to California plant communities—plantings designed to depict native plant habitats. The emphasis to display plants in their native habitats was established by Bixby Bryant in the early years of the Garden.

Visitors are welcome to explore the Garden on their own. Complimentary Garden maps are available at the entrance.

Guided Tram Tours - See the California coast and Mojave Desert in an hour! Our newest tour offers guided exploration of the Garden’s northern 55 acres and highlights the beautiful and amazing diversity of the California Floristic Province. Third Sunday of every month. Check the calendar for details. Tickets are available after 8 a.m., at the admission kiosk the day of the tour. Tickets $5 per person; tickets are required in addition to standard Garden admission.

Narrated Tram Tours for visitors with impaired mobility: Fee $10 per person, prepaid. An experienced docent will narrate the one-hour tour. Two to seven passengers can be accommodated. Please inquire for wheelchair capacity. Reservations for each month close on the 15th of the previous month.

The interpretive Tongva Village Site is rich in local and Southern California history. The cultural displays at the village site provide historical, heritage and cultural education for all. Members of the Tongva Tribe and Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden have worked together to design, construct and maintain a replica of a traditional Tongva family village unit.

A tribal representative, a Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden volunteer and nature interpreter and friends are at the Tongva Village Site to welcome, greet and guide visitors on select weekend days beginning spring equinox until the Acorn Festival in November.
