Clovis Botanical Garden

Clovis, California, United States

---

Clovis Botanical Garden is a small, nonprofit, volunteer‑run botanical garden in Clovis, California, set on about three to four acres of land within Dry Creek Park and owned by the City of Clovis.

Formally opened in 2004 after a 1993–1995 planning phase and a 2002 groundbreaking, it functions as a water‑wise demonstration garden for the Central Valley, showcasing drought‑tolerant and climate‑appropriate plants rather than lush, water‑intensive landscaping.

The site is made up of several specialized areas, including a children’s garden, a sensory garden, a Mediterranean garden, a cactus and succulent garden, and a home‑demonstration landscape that illustrates practical, low‑water garden design for local residents. 

Admission is free for all visitors, and the garden is open Wednesday through Sunday, typically from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with guided tours and educational programs offered by volunteers to teach water‑saving gardening and support local community learning.
