Clovis Botanical Garden

It is February and the flowers are not out quite yet. It is a peaceful environment to relax and walk around with family. You can make a donation to this beautiful garden.....

Took the family out to explore the garden. It was a lovely experience! The kids loved the plants and the interactive sensory music instruments. A nice walk in the garden for family. Downside is parking is crowded. We had to park on the street just the enter the garden. There's also a park right next to it along with a walking trail. Definitely a place to take the family out for a stroll.

They have added new building. Have been here multiple times over the years, yesterday there was not much in the way of plant life due to the time of year and weather conditions. I an curious to see what things they may do with the new structure. I didn't have time to talk with the staff this visit, but I will update my review as I take my daughter to the attached "Dry Creek Park" often.

Had a lot of fun taking a walk here, it is free admission but donate if you can! Very pretty and calming, you can bring your pet too (must be on leash). I like that you can also buy plants from there too!

I was staying in Clovis for a short work trip and had my morning free. The botanical garden was just a short drive down the road from my lodgings. I arrived just at opening in order to enjoy the garden out of the late summer heat. My timing was impeccable as the parking lot was filling up rapidly at that time with parents taking their kids to the park, people visiting for exercise and to enjoy the gardens. I had a pleasant hour meandering around gardens, enjoying each little section. I found the Mediterranean garden to be lovely because of its aromatic herbaceous sense that wafted around as I spent time in it. I loved the cactus garden. I thought that it was the best representation in the gardens. It was right in place. It fit in with the climate, and I thought that the variety of plants represented in that garden were really nicely laid out. There is a nice area where you can sit in the calm beneath a shady arbor with a fountain bubbling merrily nearby as you enjoy the cool morning air. There’s a self-serve plant shop that utilizes a honor system for payment (you can use QR codes to pay or leave cash if I recall correctly) The community center building that is centered at the front of the gardens is spectacular, sharp angles and so much light. A small group was occupying some of the table seating on the patio whilst enjoying coffee they had bought from the vendor running the concessions outside. There is no admission so the garden seems to be used as a casual meeting place, I saw another man who brought his dog and was reading the newspaper under the oaks.
