This garden is not only beautiful, inspiring and well-maintained, but it’s the living example of passion and dedication. Ruth Bancroft’s story can be layered onto all of our lives.

Beautiful gardens with nice paths to walk and enjoy.
Starting from predominantly gallon-sized pots, Ruth Bancroft began planting her garden in 1972. We are now open to the public and have a wholly outdoor retail Nursery onsite. We specialize in climate-resilient and drought-tolerant plants, but we are so much more than cacti! We offer a wide array of Proteaceae, California native plants, succulents, and more. Nestled in the Bay Area, the Garden is a family and pet friendly place to spend the day! We host a wide range of educational workshops and wellness events, interactive activities for children, and landscape design services. You can also rent out the space for special events, weddings and photoshoots. Check out our website to learn about all the ways to enjoy the Garden!
