The Pooch Parade may be over, but Garden walks are always in season.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Sunday’s Community Free Day and Halloween Pooch Parade, and to @therapydogssb and @lemospet805 for making the day extra special.
Did you know the Garden is dog-friendly all year long? Bring your pup for a walk, explore the trails together, and make the Garden one of your favorite places to spend time outside.
And if you find yourselves coming back again and again, membership makes it easy to make the Garden part of your routine. 🐶🧡
When you go on a walk with your nature friend,
“Let’s go for a quick walk.”
3 hours, 47 plant facts and 12 bird sightings later…

A rare sunflower, a dedicated conservation team and the joy of watching something bloom. 🌻 Hear from Garden staff member @phoebelikethebird about how Santa Barbara Botanic Garden is helping protect the Newhall sunflower for future generations.
“One reason I love being a gardener is I get to literally watch flowers bloom! If you’ve never seen the rare Newhall sunflower (Helianthus inexpectatus) in bloom I’d highly recommend venturing down into our arroyo section to see it. This species is known from a single occurrence in Newhall ranch (Santa Clarita) in an incredibly restricted range- an area that is approximately one acre wide. When surveyed back in 2003 there were between 5-10 plants within its riparian habitat and the population was threatened by plans for development. “
“As a conservation organization, we were able to do what’s known as ex situ conservation and planted an individual from that threatened population into the garden grounds in 2019.”
“Last spring I dug up a clump from our collection in the arroyo and brought it up to our living collections nursery where our propagation team was able to divide and grow out the root divisions into more plants. In December 2025, we replanted 6 of these rare sunflowers, growing our population in the arroyo from 1 to 7 individuals! “
“From bud to bloom I love getting to see these flowers unfurl (ft. a very happy sweat bee). With a CNPS rank of 1B.1 this plant is a great example of the gardens ex situ conservation, protecting an endangered species by taking a portion outside its threatened habitat and cultivating it in our garden in order to protect its unique genetics and help educate the public.”
