John Muir National Historic Site California Native Plant Garden
An ever-changing delight awaits you at the California Native Plant Garden surrounding the John Muir National Historic Site Visitor Center.
Observe the colors, patterns, textures and fragrances of blossoms and aromatic leaves as this new garden puts down roots and takes hold. Learn the preferred growing conditions of a diversity of native plants. You may see one that would enhance your corner of the state and you, too, could “restore” a bit of native California.
Greg Wolford—a dedicated professional in the design and installation of native plant landscapes—created natural, free-flowing settings to display an array of native plants tied together with interweaving gravel paths and sculpted terrain.
For more information about the Native Plant Garden download an informative brochure here.
The John Muir National Historic Site California Native Plant Coloring Book and Garden Guide is no longer available.
The Guide provides a way to learn about the plants and how to use them in your own home gardens. The Guide was published with funds collected in tribute to the dedicated John Muir National Historic Site volunteer gardener, Ray Egbert. The Garden was made possible in part through donations by the John Muir Association. Contributions are always welcome to support this and other projects.
The garden was featured in the Fall 2025 Flora Magazine with 3 gorgeous photos.
