Good News!  The San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden has broken ground on its Education Center.  We are very excited about this innovative building which features many sustainable construction features.  The Education Center will be located just up the road from the existing Preview Garden.

 

We still need help to get us from this:

It's a true community project thanks to the Construction Technology Department students at Cuesta College, who are doing the major part of the building.  The construction is expected to take two years in order to meet the schedule of the Cuesta College classes.  Students will receive an invaluable on-the-job experience as they learn straw bale and other sustainable construction techniques.

Because of the construction at the Garden, the Friends of San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden will not host its annual two-day Garden Festival this year.  Instead, the Botanical Garden will conduct a Garden Tour of spectacular gardens in and around the City of San Luis Obispo

We are so grateful for all your past work, support and participation in the Festival.  Your support is even more necessary now.  Please consider making a gift in lieu of your participation this year.  You can help the Garden grow!

The "purchase" of a straw bale for $100 can be used to honor a friend or family member.

For each $100 "purchase" you get to sign a silk banner that will hang in the new Education Building.
