Conejo Valley Botanic Garden gives Thousand Oaks a hillside garden walk
Conejo Valley Botanic Garden in Thousand Oaks has hillside plant collections, views, trails, a kids' garden, and community garden programs.
Conejo Valley Botanic Garden fits Thousand Oaks because it sits between everyday city life and the open Conejo Valley landscape. It has hillside gardens, views from higher spots, and trail space close to town.
The garden is not one flat flower bed. Its collections include an Australian Garden, Bird Habitat, Butterfly Garden, Desert Garden, Herb Garden, Kids’ Adventure Garden, Rare Fruit Orchard, Salvia Garden, and Trail of Trees. The walk feels varied without becoming hard to understand.
The visit can be gentle or more active. Some people come for the views. Others come for plant ideas, the Kids’ Adventure Garden, a short walk, or the nursery and plant sale days.
Use the garden page before going. The main garden is listed as open sunrise to sunset, but wet trail conditions, July 4, and special garden areas can change access. It is an easy local outing when the weather and paths line up.
Where to see it
Conejo Valley Botanic Garden, 400 W. Gainsborough Road. Use the garden page for hours, closures, maps, and the Kids' Adventure Garden.
