Your contribution is greatly needed and appreciated.

SERVICES/ RESOURCES
The Garden is naturally suited to establish itself as the center for the teaching, study and enjoyment of any and all environmental activities. The Garden offers informative lectures to the public. Tours of the Garden provide the general public, schools, garden clubs and scout groups opportunities to enjoy the interaction between people and nature.

American Horticultural Society
CVBG is on the list of AHS reciprocating gardens.  CVBG members will receive free or discounted admission at gardens listed on the AHS website.  Membership cards will be issued when annual dues are received.

Landscaping / Gardening
The Garden is a visual guide to low-maintenance, drought tolerant plants. The Garden provides a teaching laboratory for what works and what does not work in the Conejo Valley. It could serve as a repository for information pertinent to this area.

Resource for Schools
The Garden can coordinate programs that join the school and the community in an effort to teach principles that will help children understand and appreciate the earth under their feet. School children can enjoy and benefit from visits to the Garden, and leave with a new sense of wonder of their natural world.

The Nature Trail
An undeveloped area along a stream on the north side of the Garden offers students a living laboratory which can acquaint children (and adults) with a natural habitat for the many indigenous plants and animals in a fun and thought provoking manner.

Kids' Adventure Garden
This garden is designed specifically for children, where kids can use their imaginations, play and learn about nature in a safe, yet unstructured setting.

Opportunity for Community Involvement for Local Youth
Every young person is keenly aware of the issues and problems concerning the environment. The Garden can provide a place for young people to meet, learn, discuss issues and dig in and work to do their part to help the ecological movement. Teen groups, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and many other groups could benefit from the facility as well as students needing to fulfill their community service requirements.

Backyard Wildlife Conservation Program
Making private landscapes friendly to wildlife helps restore/maintain the natural ecological balance that can be disrupted by urban development. The Garden can lead the way helping homeowners learn how to be good neighbors to the flora and fauna around them.

OBJECTIVES
  To continue to preserve much of the Garden’s natural terrain
  To establish landscaped areas as demonstration gardens with Mediterreanean and water-conserving plantings
  To  develop specialty gardens as outdoor classrooms
  To establish a center for horticultural and environmental interest, information and activity in Ventura County
