What to look for: Paul J Ciener Botanical Garden connects people of all ages to the world of plants, gardening and horticulture. It is divided into several sections that differ in their design. Some of the destinations in the garden include:

• Xeric Scree Garden, which displays hardy agaves, cacti, flowering bulbs and drought-tolerant herbaceous plants.
• Pattern Garden, which is a parterre planted with colorful bulbs in the spring and annuals in the summer. 
• Perennial Border, a garden of herbaceous perennials and shrubs that has four-season interest.
• Tropical Garden, a display installed every year with tropical flowers and foliage, most of which spends the winter in on-site greenhouses. 
• Hillside Rock Garden, which features drought-tolerant, Mediterranean plants growing among rocks native to the site.
