The Harvest Garden offers visitors the opportunity to learn about the critical relationships between plants, insects, and animals essential  to the
pollination of our food, flower, and herb plants; pest management;  and a
healthy environment. About one-third of our food supply depends upon an
abundance of pollinators in our ecosystem. 

The integration of wildlife, food growing, herbs, and native plants in the
Harvest Garden mimic habitat in the wild - habitat which has been lost or
severely disrupted by population growth, pesticides, and pollution. The Wildlife
Habitat Garden provides pollinators (native bees, butterflies, wasps, beetles,
flies, and birds) with over 200 habitat plants--73% of which are native to
California. We installed bee boxes, birdhouses, and birdbaths throughout
the Garden to encourage wildlife to nest, feed, and reproduce.
