It's that time of year were we need to cut back weeds, remove invasive plants and haul out the biomass.
The San Diego River Garden is in Mission Valley right at the edge of the River, and it showcases native varietals and low water use plants. But don’t expect only prickly succulents (although we have a beautiful collection of those too in the Octopus Garden!), this garden is sure to inspire with showy colors, fragrant blooms, and bird and butterfly attractors. You are certain to glimpse a few of the River’s wildlife inhabitants here, especially birds and lizards. This garden also has a nice picnic area for visitors to relax. No potable water available, so bring your own water if you visit the garden outside of our regularly scheduled events. No restrooms available at the garden.
This site used to be a vacant area reserved for future use by the City of San Diego. But thanks to the City and the many volunteers, sponsors, groups that have come out to garden, the River Park Foundation is caring for this 5 acre area to make it attractive for the community.
