Clovis Botanical Garden Park

Its a botanical garden at its infancy and its not going to wow people with just the first look but I do think its an interesting visit to do at least once if your in Clovis and Fresno. This place is FREE and its done by a non profit that doesn’t receive funding, it is growing its exhibits every day and adding new things by the day so it is going to be exciting, but most importantly it does what its suppose to do, which is showcase some of the most beautiful plants, herb, flowers and shrubs in one very big garden. This place divides itself to different sections, so it has the Australian garden, the american garden, the cactus garden and so etc. Its interesting to also learn about water saving methods and other gardening lessons here too.
The garden is not lush or landscaped to perfection yet like other gardens in the world, so if you visit this place expect for imperfection, but also be surprised that there are exhibits that looks so fancy and well done like the Mediterranean garden which was sponsored by local companies. The valuable thing that you would reap while visiting here is learning that there are actually a few varieties of plants that we know, for example simple herb plants like rosemary, there is like 3 – 4 varieties, I didn’t know that.
The docents here are really nice and they do have lots of places to sit and they provide a proper map of the garden with information. There will be insects flying and little lizard running, but they wont disturb you, its really safe and there are a huge variety of plants with proper labels to learn. I do love that they have sections dividing each garden and that they are growing, definitely a must see in the dry creek park, the parking is free and it is a great walk and exercise.

Very peaceful a good place to walk ur dog through while walking the dry creek trail. A great variety of the type of plants that will grow in the valley which be tough to know. The botanical garden solves that problem by labeling each plants name and scientific name as well

Beautiful gardens with great kids park next door. Perfect afternoon with a toddler!

Just spent the morning at Kids Day. It was great fun. Volunteers were wonderful and provided great activities for kids all ages.

Delightful demonstration garden in a lovely community park, Dry Creek Park.
I attended their open house and plant sale that is presented the last Saturday of every September. Lots of hands-​on assistance with plant selection and advice on how to plant your selections.

This is the new park that is still under construction at Alluvial and Clovis Ave. After a couple weeks of having it be too crowded to take my 17 month old, we finally went today. This park is awesome! It has so many different things to do for all age brackets. Then in the back, along the trail, they’ve put in exercise equipment so you can work out while walking on the trail. I think the whole concept of this type of park is great and I am glad that it is down the street from my house!
