The Gardens at Heather Farm is a non-profit organization established in 1972, serving as a 6.5-acre public garden and horticultural center in Walnut Creek, California. While primarily functioning as a community sanctuary and educational venue, the organization operates an active nursery program that provides a diverse selection of plants to the public, including perennials, annuals, edibles, herbs, succulents, and California native species. Their horticultural operations are integrated into a broader mission of environmental stewardship and community education. The nursery supports its mission through seasonal plant sales, providing local residents and gardeners access to plants suited for the regional climate. In addition to plant retail, the facility serves as a major hub for youth science education, floral design workshops, and event venue hosting, relying on a dedicated volunteer base for garden maintenance and plant propagation efforts.
