oak knoll

At a high point in the midst of the California collection, the Oak Knoll provides an ideal spot for a quiet picnic or ceremony. The four picnic tables and benches are available on a first-come basis or by reservation. They provide a choice of shade or full sun but all have a spectacular view of the Garden and surrounding hills. Depending on season, the native California trillium, iris and lilies provide a colorful palette among the diverse understory of vegetation.
