Harry P. Leu Gardens is getting ready to grow, and you can help shape its future.
The 50-acre outdoor oasis has unveiled a conceptual Master Plan packed with new additions, including:
- A new Visitor Center complex with a restaurant overlooking Lake Rowena, a plant shop, and curated retail
- A lakefront amphitheater for outdoor concerts + cultural and community events
- A Children’s Garden featuring treehouses, waterfalls, streams, and hands-on learning gardens
- More parking + horticulture facilities to better support visitors and staff
Several garden areas would also see new life under the plan:
- The Arid Garden would grow with additional desert plants.
- The Camellia Collection would receive new plantings and preservation efforts.
- The Rose Garden would be refreshed with sustainable rose varieties and seasonal displays.
- The Palm and Tropical Gardens would get updated designs and plantings to showcase even more botanical diversity.
