For Information:  Contact the California Native Plant Society - San Gabriel Mountains Chapter

Description:  Go on a leisurely walk, about 2 hours, through the native plant garden that surrounds the Center and into the nearby wild areas. The walk is different each time — what's leafing out, flowering, in seed, etc., determines what your leader will talk about — and different leaders bring different points of view.
