By the 1970s, Santa Barbara Botanic Garden had grown to 65 acres (26 hectares). During this decade, the Garden constructed its first fire-safe herbarium, located in what is now the Katherine K. Muller Education Building, creating a safe home for its growing scientific plant collections.
🎉 Join the celebration: sbbotanicgarden.org/100years/
Meet Valerie Hoffman, a Garden member for 11 years.
For Valerie, giving is more than a moment. It’s an intention. A way to align what we value with the impact we want to have, now and into the future.
Taking the Native Plant Pledge is one way to turn that intention into action.
It’s a simple step with lasting impact. A commitment to learn, to support, and to care for the natural systems that sustain us all.
Native plants are the foundation for life. They support biodiversity, sustain wildlife, and help our communities adapt to a changing climate. Protecting them starts with each of us.
Start small. Think long term. Leave a legacy.
Add your name. Take the pledge, link in bio.
#100YearsTogether
Every path, every plant, every season holds a story.
For 100 years, the Garden has been part of countless moments, big and small. A first visit, a favorite trail, a quiet afternoon.
Now it’s time to look back, together.
Share your photos and memories with #100YearsTogether and be part of the celebration.
If you’re seeing this, the algorithm thinks you should plant native plants.
Start small. Grow something that belongs here. Support pollinators, birds, and the landscapes that make this place home.
Consider this your sign to dig in.

Design your garden like nature intended.
The most dynamic landscapes aren’t flat. They’re layered. From groundcover to canopy, each level creates space for wildlife to feed, nest, and thrive.
When you build in layers, you’re not just planting a garden, you’re creating a living system that supports the web of life.
Learn how to bring habitat layering into your own space. Read on for tips from Scot Pipkin, director of education and engagement:
