About Rick Zelazny:

Hi, Garden visitors!  I’m Rick, one of your docents at the Botanic Garden, focused on sharing native plant stories and talks about our diverse California ecology.  

I grew up in Michigan and after finishing a Chem Engineering degree at MSU, moved to So Cal and never looked back.  After retirement 8 years ago, I was able to pursue my passion for nature with the Garden’s CA Naturalist program.  After further docent training, I now lead school tours and special tours on Island plants, fire ecology, and local geology for our Garden guests. I look forward to enjoying the Garden’s unique native plants with you and sharing our desire to protect and support their habitats.
