HVCA Gardens
The HVCA gardens can be a resource to inspire you in your own gardens to use native and pollinator plants to help reduce water usage and fire risk while promoting natural wildlife. The gardens, at the north edge of the parking lot and along the path from the parking lot to the meadow, are the first of more educational display gardens. Plant Identification signs identify the plant(s) by name, as well as, if the plant is a California Native, its "Water Wise" rating, if it is attractive to pollinators, and if the plant is significantly helpful in carbon sequestering. Click here for the plant list.
We invite you to enjoy our gardens to learn more, and if interested, to inquire how you can be involved in our exciting plans for the HVCA garden and meadow. Future plans include upgraded infrastructure to bring irrigation to the meadow and new planting areas, a new bridge, enhanced drainage/irrigation in the meadow, a pollinator garden, and more. Thank you to the generous grants from Marin County, Outdoor Art Club and the Marin Municipal Water District to help make this come together.
