Take Some Time to Visit the Garden

Between the mall and the mountains and the freeway and the green way, lies one of the hidden gems of the Conejo Valley.  The Conejo Valley Botanic Garden is 33-acres of natural terrain encircled by the city of Thousand Oaks. From the the sweeping vistas at the peak of the Garden through fifteen unique, hillside specialty gardens, and onto the hiking trail along the riparian steam, the Conejo Valley Botanic Garden is a destination not to be missed.

The garden is easy to reach, is open every day except holidays and is free to the public.

You can take a virtual tour around this website and catch a glimpse
of what the garden has to offer.

New Additions: Motor Vehicle & New Tuff Shed

 

New additions to the garden.Since the garden’s beginning in 1973, volunteers walked up and down the hills, often pulling or pushing a cart in which to put the tons of debris accumulated from their work. Things are different now. 

Thanks to the Conejo Recreation & Parks District’s Capital Improvements Grant, our gentlemen volunteers now have a gas-powered Club Car that carries them up and down the hills as they go about their various tasks. The box on the back serves as a small dump truck that is useful for spreading mulch and other purposes. The grant also provided the garden with a Tuff Shed for storage. 

The grant of $6,792, along with the garden’s matching funds, made it possible to acquire these helpful additions to the garden. The volunteers are grateful to the CRPD for this grant. Thank you, CRPD!

2011 Conejo Open Space Trail Work Day

Scores of volunteers participated in the 21st annual Conejo Open Space Trail Work Day that took place on October 15, 2011. There were two primary projects: trail building in the Sunset Hills area of Thousand Oaks, and projects for families and scout groups at the Conejo Valley Botanic Garden.

 

Beautiful NewStreet Signage

 

New Street SignsLast December, garden volunteer, Pat Brubaker was asked if she would like to take on the job of working with the city to get new and updated garden signs at the intersections of Lynn Rd. and Gainsborough Rd., and Moorpark Rd. and Gainsborough Rd.. Pat took on the job. Pat started working with Jim Mashiko at the city. After many communications between Pat and Jim, the final proof was approved by the board. In late October the signs were installed. Now the garden has four new larger signs with bigger print and beautiful flowers. Thank you Pat and thank you Jim Mashiko and the City of Thousand Oaks for the new signs. Have you seen them as you are driving by? If not, it’s time to start looking.
