One of the most decorated players in the history of the NBA, Magic Johnson won five championships with the Los Angeles Lakers, was selected three times as NBA Most Valuable Player and was a member of the 1992 U.S. Olympic Gold Medal “Dream Team.” He was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2002. Since retiring from professional basketball, Magic has turned his attention to entrepreneurship and is a leading spokesperson on HIV education.

Come celebrate California native plants with us!
Today, California horticulture is in transition. Gardeners are becoming more interested in the use of native plants, organic fertilizers, and natural ways of combating pests. Taken together, the term "sustainable horticulture" is being used to describe horticultural practices that are least likely to adversely impact the environment. Gardeners are looking for ways to IMPROVE their soil and use less water so they can effectively grow the plants they love.
their soil and use less water so they can effectively grow the plants they love.Why grow California native plants?
For 88 years the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden has displayed, studied, and conserved California native plants. Why natives? Native plants are the foundation for healthy ecosystems. They are a source of food, shelter, and medicine. They define the look and geography of our region.
With the simple addition of native plants in your garden or landscape, you will:
- Celebrate the beauty of our unique California flora
- Conserve our unique California flora
- Enjoy the diversity of design choices for the landscape garden
- Practice sustainability - lower water and fertilizer needs (saves you money and conserves earth's resources)
