Garden Fair at The NAT

Get growing with us. Spend a day in Balboa Park learning about our region’s beautiful and beneficial native plants during our Garden Fair featuring community partners and conservation organizations. Learn more.     

Join us on Saturday, June 29 from 10 AM-2 PM in our newest outdoor exhibit, the Nature Trail, a brand-new public garden featuring plants from Southern California and the Baja California peninsula.   

Among the flora and fauna of our garden, you can meet community partners, learn more about planting native, pick up seeds to jumpstart your own garden, play a GIANT game of chutes and ladders that focuses on Southern California wildlife, enter raffles, and more! This is a perfect opportunity for families, garden enthusiasts, and anyone interested in learning more about the natural world.  

This event is free and does not require Museum admission, though we do hope you visit us inside to learn more about local wildlife and habitats (and to see our new T. rex film, debuting that weekend).
