Visit the UC Master Gardener’s Native Plant Habitat Garden at the San Carlos City Center. Master Gardeners installed the 8,000 square foot garden in 2019 and maintain it on a weekly basis. Several garden guides will be available during the tour to share their knowledge about the plants in the garden and the wildlife that the plants support. A plant list will be available to pick up on the day of the tour or to download.

This San Carlos Native Plant Habitat Garden is one of many gardens that will be on display as part of the California Native Plant Society’s Growing Natives Garden Tour.  The tour showcases gardens that feature California native plants and demonstrate reduced water use, reduced chemical and pesticide use, improved habitat, and the unique aesthetic appeal of gardens designed with California native plants. This community-based tour is free of charge to the public but online registration is required. Each tour features up to 60 gardens, many of them are private home gardens, which are open on tour day in a do-it-yourself, open garden format.

The San Carlos Native Plant Habitat Garden is located in the plaza next to the San Carlos Library and City Hall. There is a parking lot at the library and free street parking on the adjacent streets.

Registration is required.
