Humboldt Botanical Gardens
The Humboldt Botanical Gardens (18 ha / 44.5 acres) are at the southern edge of Eureka, California, United States. The Gardens are near the South Bay portion of Humboldt Bay on the north side of College of the Redwoods. Grading and site preparation for the Gardens began in August, 2003. The garden opened in 2006, with more development completed by 2008. The Humboldt Botanical Gardens offices are located in downtown Eureka.
The Gardens were first organized in 1991. Its Lost Coast Brewery Native Plant Garden has an emphasis on the Humboldt region, but includes plants in the geographic area from the Rogue River to the north shore of San Francisco Bay, and inland to a north-south line running from Vacaville through Williams, Redding, Yreka, Medford, and along the Rogue River to its mouth. The Gardens are particularly interested in maintaining complete native conifer, Iris and Lilium occidentale (western lily) collections.
