We’re so excited to welcome everyone joining us for Storytime with @godmothersbooks! This special storytime celebrates the wonderful work of authors Heidi Moreno and Sarah Wright Olsen and the stories they’ve shared with young readers.
This special event is officially sold out, but there’s still plenty of Garden magic to enjoy. Come explore the trails, discover California native plants and make a day of it at Santa Barbara Botanic Garden.

Desert Willow may look delicate, but it’s built for the desert. Meet the desert willow (Chilopsis linearis), a Southern California native adapted to life in dry landscapes.
It grows naturally in sandy washes, canyons and desert streams, where its deep roots can reach subsurface water. Once established, it needs little supplemental water. Its fragrant, trumpet-shaped flowers bloom in shades of pink, lavender and white and attract hummingbirds, bees and butterflies.
The best native plants don’t just survive in their environment. They’re adapted to it. See if you can find this beautiful native plant during your next visit

Sometimes conservation comes down to being in the right place at the right time.
Earlier this month, our Living Collections team traveled to Plaskett to collect Arctostaphylos hooveri, a rare manzanita, for the Garden’s Living Collection. Along a Forest Service dirt road off Highway 1, Christina Varnava Romo, Phoebe Swigart, Isabella Salangsang and team gathered its sticky little fruits, bringing a piece of this unique population back to the Garden.
This work was made possible through the 2026 Priority US Trees Conservation Award, funded by the U.S. Botanic Garden.
Just days later, the area was impacted by wildfire.
That collection now carries even greater meaning. By preserving A. hooveri in our Living Collection and contributing seeds to our Conservation Seed Bank, we’re protecting this population in multiple ways and helping safeguard its genetic diversity for the future.
“Grateful that our trip was perfectly timed, and that we were able to witness the ephemeral beauty of the area before the wildfire struck!”
This is why living collections matter.
The Garden belongs to this community, and we`re celebrating together.
This October, come enjoy special programming created with local partners and even free admission (on select days). From live music and wellness activities to family and dog-friendly fun - each week offers a new reason to visit.
4 Weeks. 4 Fun Themes. Endless Ways to Explore.
Reserve your spot early. Space is limited.
