The San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden is exclusively devoted to the plants of the five Mediterranean climate regions of the world. As a non-profit botanical garden, our mission is to honor and preserve our connection with nature. We strive to be a treasured local, national, and international resource; to delight, educate and inspire people to embrace nature, outdoor recreation, community interaction, celebration of the arts, creative endeavors, and health and wellness; to showcase and support world-class botanical collections, horticultural research, plant propagation, local history, indigenous culture, and universal access to the outdoors.
