Part 2 of our agave spotlight with Stephanie Ranes!
Meet Magdalena Island agave (Agave margaritae), a rare beauty from Magdelena Island off the coast of Baja California.
With its compact form, blue-gray leaves, and bold spines, this small but mighty agave knows how to stand out. Like many agaves, it blooms once in its lifetime, then makes way for the next generation through offsets.
Come see what’s growing at the Garden right now and discover California’s native plants up close.
Nothing like a stroll through the trees.
We’ll see you there.

In the 1950s, the Garden hired its first full-time horticulturist and plant breeder, Dara E. Emery, launching a program to evaluate and introduce California native plants to gardens across the state. This work helped gardeners discover the beauty and resilience of native flora — a legacy that continues to grow today.
