Join the Native Garden Tour & Visit Ballona Discovery Park!

The Theodore Payne Foundation’s Native Plant Garden Tour, titled Spring of Life, spotlights 37 visionary gardens across the city, bringing together the plants and people that make Southern California one of the most unique and biodiverse places on the planet. Our very own Ballona Discovery Park in Playa Vista is featured as #13.

If you haven't purchased a ticket yet, they are still available at select locations.  Each ticket includes admission for a single visitor to all gardens across both days and a printed color guide with addresses and driving directions. Click here for more information about how to buy tickets.

The tour is self-guided, so you can make your own itinerary and go at your own pace.
