Desert Gardens Near Berkeley, CA

.

.
One Women - One Vision - is the mission for the Ruth Bancroft Garden in Walnut Creek, a lovely small town not far from Berkeley / Oakland in the eastern San Francisco Bay area. 

It's not only a small botanical garden, dedicated to drought-tolerant plants - important in California, and in the whole South-West of the US - but offers lots of educational programs to garden owners, such as: 


  • Successfully Growing Agaves at Home
  • Succulent Propagation Workshops
  • Beginner's Garden Photography .

Here are some photo impressions from a recent visit:

Visitors cannot only stroll through the gardens and admire the beautiful Succulents, Cacti and Agaves, they can also purchase small plants and maybe convert their own gardens into such a desert paradise - and at the same time save water.  Enjoy your own visit there!
